Las Vegas Mass Shooting
Introduction
The mass shooting has no fixed definition, but the standard description of the term is the
violent act where a gunman kills more than four individuals. Based on the given definition, most
studies conducted from 1966 to date reveal that the United States is the top nation where mass
shooting takes place often. Between 1967 to date, more than 150 mass shootings have occurred
in the United States according to the records that the Gun Violence Archive has released
recently. In this case, the average number of fatalities in every incident is estimated to be eight
people, including the death of the perpetrator. Since the United States has the highest number of
mass shootings than any other nation, most of the perpetrators are considered to be white males.
In most cases, the perpetrators conduct the act alone after which die from either suicide,
restraining, sentenced to death. The least number of people killed in a mass shooting is eight and
the most significant number is 58 in Las Vegas on 1 st October 2017. In Miami, eight people were
killed on 20th August 1982 (Campion & Drazen, 2017). The same number of individuals died in
the mass shooting that occurred in Louisville on 14th September 1989, in San Francisco on 1st
July 1993, in Omaha on 5th December 2007, in Carthage on 29th March 2009, in Christopher

had the highest number of deaths, and therefore the incident will be described more.
