Public Mass Shooting a Persistent Threat (CRS)

Public Mass Shooting a Persistent Threat (CRS): Mass killings of the sort that took place yesterday in Charleston, South Carolina are a distressingly frequent occurrence. There were 78 public mass shootings in the United States between 1983 and 2013, according to a report by the Congressional Research Service. “According to CRS estimates, over the last three decades public mass shootings have claimed 547 lives and led to an additional 476 injured victims,” the report said.http://fas.org/blogs/secrecy/2015/06/mass-shooting-crs/
