The ABC7 Data Team has created an interactive map of mass shootings for 2023 to date.
The data comes from the Gun Violence Archive, a research group that uses more than 7,500 law enforcement, media, government and commercial sources to compile a current list of mass shootings in the United States.
The organization defines mass shootings as an incident in which four or more victims are shot or killed, not counting the perpetrator.
