Florida leads country in mass shootings after overnight gunfire injures several in state capital
Tallahassee's early Sunday morning shooting of multiple people at a shopping center means Florida remains the state with the most mass shootings across the country, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive.
The shooting occurred early Sunday morning as the darkened city was still coping with widespread destruction and power outages from multiple tornado strikes Friday. Tallahassee police say they responded to find two men dead at the scene and two other adult victims wounded.
That puts Florida's total of mass shootings this year so far at 14, the same number the Sunshine State saw by this time last year. The Sunshine State jumped ahead of the rest last month when there were three mass shootings in three days.
A shooting in San Antonio Wednesday night that left five people dead, including three children under the age of 10, and a shooting in Long Beach that injured seven people, three of them critically, brought Texas and California up to second behind Florida with 12 each.
