“Mass” Shootings- Part 2

This post will cover the rest of January 2025. As I’ve been looking into these mass shootings, I’m beginning to feel as though mass shootings are being used as a fear tactic to call for gun control. As you will see, many of these in January no one knows what the circumstances are surrounding the shooting. Why is there no information regarding many of these? From what I could find online, most news outlets give the basics but that the event is “still under investigation”.
