School Shootings Have Fallen, but Gun Violence Remains Above Pre-Covid Levels

School Shootings Have Fallen, but Gun Violence Remains Above Pre-Covid Levels

School shootings have fallen recently, but gun violence in schools is still above its pre-Covid level.

The figures concern gun violence in schools, though no specific country or school is identified.

One data scientist who tracks the violence says people have become more alert to warning signs of potential attacks.

That increased vigilance is encouraging, but the figures show the problem has not returned to its earlier level.

The story gives no details about the causes of the recent decline or the remaining gap.

It also does not say what steps may follow or when school gun violence might fall further.
