Since the start of the new year, there have been two very high-profile mass shootings in California, but they weren’t the only ones. There have been 52 mass shootings in the United States in January 2023, according to the Gun Violence Archive (GVA). The GVA categorizes an act of violence as a mass shooting if four or more people were shot or killed, excluding the shooter. Seven of those shootings — listed below — were in California.
