Buffalo, New York. Highland Park, Illinois. Uvalde, Texas.

These are just a handful of the dozens of U.S. cities rocked by mass shootings this year.

According to the Gun Violence Archive, a non-profit group that tracks such incidents, 2022 will likely end just short of the country’s all-time record number of mass shootings, set just last year.

The organization defines a mass shooting as one in which at least four people are killed or injured.
