Here is a chart I put together to help make things obvious. Please feel free to redistribute.

Note the last data point is 2018. We've had more wounded so far in 2018 than any other prior year except 2017. Deaths are on track for another record year.

Data from:
2018 Mass Shooting Data http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting
