Though mass shootings don't make up the majority of gun violence incidents in America, their impact on communities and victims is evident.
Incidents like the mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, continue to send cities into mourning and have sparked repeated calls for gun reform.
In Nashville, Tennessee, the latest mass school shooting left six dead -- three children and three staff members.
About 12 shootings, one of which can be defined as a mass shooting, have occurred on K-12 school campuses so far this year, leaving at least 10 dead and a dozen injured, according to the GVA and local reports.
