Random Fact #6,468

When talking about school shootings in the US, first-world media often says that "the US has more school shootings than any first-world country" implying that third-world countries are rife with school shootings.

Between January 2009 to May 2018 you know what the highest number of school shootings in a third-world country (Mexico) was?

8.

You know what the US number of school shootings in the same timeframe was?

288.

The 19 countries with the highest number of school shootings are almost evenly split between first-world countries and third-world countries, with the first-world countries actually being the higher number of countries.
