Senator Tweets Every Mass Shooting In America From Past Year-He calls it his "2015 year in review"

Every Mass Shooting in 2015

In 2015 there were 372 mass shootings - incidents where four or more people where shot, including the shooter. I went through each and every one of them on shootingtracker.com, and tweeted out the stories. In the face of this carnage, there is no excuse for our inaction.

On Thursday afternoon, Murphy began tweeting out every injury and death from every mass shooting over the past year, as compiled by Shooting Tracker in conjunction with the Gun Violence Archive. Shooting Tracker defines a mass shooting as any event where at least four people are shot, not necessarily killed.


Here’s my 2015 year in review.

Quite amazing - from a US Senator:

I love having him as one of my two excellent senators, Richard Blumenthal being the other. Chris gives me hope...
