So we’ve become desensitized to all the death and mayhem shown on TV screens with increasing frequency. How frequently? The New York Times reports:
More than one a day.
That is how often, on average, shootings that left four or more people wounded or dead occurred in the United States this year, according to compilations of episodes derived from news reports.
Including the worst mass shooting of the year, which unfolded horrifically on Wednesday in San Bernardino, Calif., a total of 462 people have died and 1,314 have been wounded in such attacks this year, many of which occurred on streets or in public settings, the databases indicate.There’s a lot more interesting information in the article. Definitely worth a read.
