Mass Shootings Go International 4K

Mass shootings have sadly become a common occurrence in the world, plaguing countries from all continents. In 2019 and 2020, numerous mass shootings occurred across the globe, leaving hundreds of people dead or injured. While the United States has consistently been the country with the most mass shootings in the world, the devastating impact of these events has been felt around the world as well, with other notable mass shooting incidents including an attack on two mosques in New Zealand that killed 51 people, an Easter Sunday bombing in Sri Lanka that left more than 250 dead and 500 injured, and an attack on a popular nightclub in Istanbul that resulted in 39 deaths. Europe has also been the victim of multiple mass shootings in recent years, most of them linked to acts of terrorism. Sadly, the aftermath of these tragedies often entails physical and psychological trauma for survivors and their families, as well as negatively impacts the population of the countries concerned in the long term.

Mass shootings in Europe have become an increasingly alarming phenomenon in recent years. While there have been several isolated incidents of gun violence occurring on the continent for many years, the frequency and severity of these events have increased dramatically over the last decade. The majority of mass shooting incidents in Europe occur in France and Germany, but other European countries with high rates of violent crime include Norway, Belgium, and Finland.
