The year 2025 has recorded only 17 mass killing incidents, marking the lowest number since 2006. While experts welcome this 24% decrease from 2024, they caution it may represent a statistical regression rather than permanent improvement. Despite the decline, firearms remain involved in 82% of these incidents, highlighting the ongoing need for comprehensive approaches to violence prevention in America.
