Wow 18 in 2018

That's like 3 a week

so expecting to see 150 or so by the end of the year

I'm not trying to downplay this, only qualify the statement of "18" because I think some people may be getting the wrong idea.

You might take that 18 figure with a grain of salt:

 

Everytown uses a straightforward, fair, and comprehensive definition for a school shooting: any time a firearm discharges a live round inside a school building or on a school campus or grounds, as documented by the press and, when necessary, confirmed through further inquiries with law enforcement or school officials. Incidents in which guns were brought into schools but not discharged, or where the firearm was discharged off school grounds, are not included. The database is updated as new shootings occur or as new evidence emerges about prior incidents.
