On April 20, 1999, two teenagers murdered 13 people and injured more than 20 others at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. Twenty-four years later, there have been 376 more confirmed school shootings. At least 623 children, educators, and staff have been killed or injured, and more than 348,000 students have been exposed to gun violence in their schools. Although most school shootings are committed by white perpetrators, Hispanic students are twice as likely to experience campus gun violence. For Black students, the chances increase more than three-fold.
