BUFFALO, N.Y. — The United States is on pace to match or surpass its worst year on record for the number of mass shootings, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive, a non-profit that tracks gun violence incidents across the country.
There have been at least 246 mass shootings through June 5 of this year.
There have been mass shootings at graduation parties, an elementary school and a grocery store in Buffalo, where 10 people lost their lives in what police called a “racially motivated violent extremism.”
As the community reflects on those somber statistics, people in Buffalo gathered for a March for Our Lives Rally, in tandem with state and nationwide marches to ask "when will this gun violence come to an end?"
