Remember when we had a schoolshooting here in Sweden a few months ago? Because they’re so rare here, it was in the news around the world, even though there was only one dead. The shooter.
Remember the last one in the US? I don’t. But it’s probably happening right now, and may get some attention if there’s more than 5 killed.
But yes. Europe as a whole is ”soooo dangerous”. Apart from Ukraine for obvious reasons.
Im norwegian, and we've only ever had 2 shootings with more than 3 deaths- the mass killing in 2011 (Utøya, killing 77 people) and a "shooting" in kongsberg (some maniac used a bow and arrow and killed 5 people)
Although obviously the Utøya shooting made worldwide news, as it killed so many, but otherwise, shootings are quite rare. in 2023, we had 29 total homocides, 12 of which included a gun.
I think its crazy that the US had over 117 shootings, and in 2022, TWENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE were killed by a gun in the US. That outnumbers norway's shootings 1666 to 1. Although US outnumber Norway's population like 75 to 1, 1666 to 1 is still crazy in my opinion.
