US Mass Shootings: 16 Incidents Reported in Past 10 Days (June 2026)
Washington, D.C. — June 13, 2026
The United States recorded between 15 and 16 mass shootings in the past 10 days, according to the latest data from the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), a non-profit that tracks gun violence incidents nationwide.
Using GVA’s standard definition — an incident in which four or more people are shot, excluding the shooter, in a single location at roughly the same time — the organization logged 16 qualifying events between June 3 and June 12, 2026.
Key Incidents
Among the most notable:
June 12, Midland, Texas: One person killed and 10 others injured when a gunman opened fire on bystanders and police before a standoff. The suspect was later found dead.
June 9, Livonia, Michigan: A domestic incident left four people dead.
June 9, Trenton, New Jersey: Seven people, including two juveniles, were shot.
June 6, Toledo, Ohio: Twelve people were injured in a single incident near a festival area.
June 6, Kansas City, Missouri: Nine people were shot.
Other incidents occurred in Chicago, Cleveland (multiple days), Birmingham, Phoenix, Fort Worth, and several additional cities.
GVA has recorded roughly 183 mass shootings nationwide so far in 2026. The organization’s methodology captures a wide range of events, including public, gang-related, and domestic shootings, which explains why its totals are significantly higher than stricter definitions used by some government agencies.Definitions of “mass shooting” vary widely:
GVA and similar trackers focus on four or more shot.
The FBI’s “mass murder” definition typically requires four or more killed in a public incident.
Experts and advocates continue to debate which metrics best reflect the scope of gun violence in America.
The recent string of incidents has once again renewed calls for policy discussions on public safety, mental health resources, and gun access, though no immediate legislative action has been announced in response to this specific 10-day period.
