Studies also show that the frequency rate tripled between 2011 and 2015. In 2015 we hit about one mass shooting per day in this country (mainly domestic violence). As of August 9, 2019 we have had 251 mass shootings in 216 days (mainly domestic violence).
Also according to the conservative New York Times: "According to The New York Times, the majority of perpetrators they have published stories about are white males who act alone.
[40] According to most analyses and studies however, the proportion of mass shooters in the United States who are white is not considerably greater than the proportion of white people in the
general population of the US.
