and the number of school shootings per year never exceed the number of days in a year

Well, it wouldn't be as noteable if the school shooting happened when kids are not at school. If we go by the oen that seems most common, there's 180 school days in the US (because no other countries need these kinds of staticstics),2025 is even on track for missing 1 a day, since it's on 159, and we're almost at the christmas break.

But it is close, and other years after 2021 have been 250+ which is more than 1 per school day, according to your source.

Not sure why the school shootings increased drastically after 2021. 🤷
