The US has reported at least 50 mass shootings since the Atlanta spa shootings

CHANG W. LEE/The New York Times/

At least three people were killed and two were injured in a shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Sunday, continuing the long string of similar incidents that preceded it.

Since March 16, when eight people were killed and one wounded at three Atlanta-area spas, the United States has had at least 50 mass shootings, according to CNN reporting and an analysis of data from the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), local media and police reports.

Analysis: A return to normal in America means a return to violence

The United States has seen at least 150 mass shootings in 2021, according to data from the GVA, a non-profit based in Washington.

CNN considers an incident to be a mass shooting if four or more people are shot, wounded or killed, excluding the gunman; so does the GVA.

Here are the incidents reported since March 16.

The agency initially said six people were injured, but in a subsequent post said nine were shot or grazed by gunfire, including two who remain in a hospital — a 14-year-old boy shot in the head and a 16-year-old hit in the stomach.

The shooting started “when verbal confrontations during a child’s birthday party led to gunfire,” officials said.
