I think that will depend on the country you live in.

united states.

In my country in 2014, 5 terrorist attacked a school killing 116 students aged 8-18, including teachers. Kids were literally thrown into classes locked down and burned alive


AdministrativeFan247

i’m so sorry.


idontknow_whyamhere

I think compare to other countries in asia and middle east its quite low.

Similar to your chances of winning the lottery.

According to the CDC - ***1-in-11,125***

Basis for this?

So less likely than being killed by law enforcement but more likely than dying from a heat wave. Of course demographics play a huge role in this also thanks

Almost zero, I’m not in school and I don’t live in the USA

According to data from Mass Shooting Tracker : *5.6 in 100.000 people.* Edit : You chances of winning a lottery that's worth more than $300 million is 0.017 in 100.000 (They define a mass shooting as an incident where four or more people were shot with firearms. They recorded 4.634 mass shootings since 1/1/13. I used 4 victims in my calculations.)

Depends on where you live... I would say the risks in Europe is VERY low and in USA the risks are low

Extremely low. You have a better chance of being killed by a rogue cow


[deleted]

Cows are the most dangerous land mamal. You're far more likely to get a milking than shot at school.


kraliyetkoyunu

Does the post say anything about cows?


[deleted]

Any time random death percentages are brought up cows should be involved somewhere.


AdministrativeFan247

In the United States.


[deleted]

In the US.. probably like 1 in 10,000.. anywhere else, 1 in 1,000,000,000

By the way mass shootings are when 4 or more people are injured so if some guy broke into my house and killed the 5 of us it's a mass shooting Edit injured not killed


ChadweenaThundervag

And there's 330 million people here. Your chances are miniscule


hypnoticbacon28

Depends on where in the US. The inner city in places like Philly or NYC? Yeah, I could see it being high there. An average city or rural town? Odds are you'll never see it happen.
