There have now been more than 90 school shootings since Sandy Hook

Gunman is dead, three others injured overnight at Florida State University

A gunman opened fire overnight at a Florida State University library, wounding three students before being killed by police.

With the latest incident, there have now been more than 90 school shootings in the U.S. since the December 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, according to information compiled by Everytown for Gun Safety. The shooting at Sandy Hook, in which gunman Adam Lanza killed 20 students and six staff members, generated widespread calls for gun safety reform, but the U.S. Senate failed to pass legislation for background checks last year. Gun safety measures have been enacted at the state level in places like Colorado and Connecticut, but since Sandy Hook, slightly more state measures have weakened (70) as strengthened (64) gun regulations.
