The facts about a meme posted by the left i’m sure! The data you provided on school shootings by country for 2025 appears to be based on figures from 2009–2018, primarily sourced from CNN’s research, as referenced in multiple web sources like World Population Review and Travel Safe. These sources report school shootings from January 1, 2009, to May 21, 2018, for primary to university-level institutions where at least one person was shot. However, the data is not specific to 2025 and may not reflect incidents after 2018, including any in 2025, unless explicitly updated. United States (288 incidents): This figure is accurate for 2009–2018 per CNN’s data, far exceeding other countries. However, it’s not 2025-specific. The K-12 School Shooting Database reports 254 incidents for 2024–2025, a 22.5% drop from prior years, and 144 shootings in 2025 alone as of August 26, 2025, per the K-12 Violence Project. These numbers use broader criteria (e.g., including incidents with no injuries), so direct comparison with the 288 figure is tricky. The US still leads globally, with estimates of over 80 shootings in 2023 alone. The list is mostly accurate for 2009–2018 but not necessarily for 2025. Without comprehensive 2025 data, I can’t confirm current figures. The US’s high number aligns with its global lead, but the exact count depends on definitions. For countries with zero or low incidents, strict gun laws and limited reporting support the figures, but gaps in recent data mean caution is needed.
