There have been 75 mass shootings in the United States since Sandy Hook Elementary, where a gunman in 2012 killed 20 first-graders, six faculty members and himself. In those 75 shootings, at least 235 people died, according to a study by Vox. Six of those mass shootings happened in Georgia. But the Vox report doesn't include two that happened this month. So there have been eight in Georgia, with seven of them this year. As of December, Georgia led the nation in school shootings, but not all of those involved injuries.
