FACT CHECK: How true is Aregebesola’s claim that people are murdered per second in the US? | TheCable FactCheck
within a space of 44 hours, the US recorded three mass shootings that lead to the loss of 19 lives, all in California.. Gavin Newsom, governor of California, said the 2023 record is more than any other start-of-the-year record. This establishes the fact that mass shooting is on the rise in America.
Going by Aregbesola’s statement that people are murdered per second in the US, that would imply that a total of 86,400 deaths are recorded each day, and over 31 million deaths each year.Defining the term mass shooting is neither here nor there, as there is no single agreed-upon definition for the term yet. Depending on factors such as the number of victims and the circumstances of the shooting, the definition differs.
The FBI, which collects data on active shooter incidents, defines it as a case where one or more individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area.
