This staggering map shows just how many mass shootings America has suffered in 2015

This is truly frightening stuff.

This week saw yet another mass shooting in America, this time at a college in Oregon where 10 people died, including the gunman. According to the Independent, British mapping company Esri UK have responded by illustrating the sheer scale of gun violence which has occurred throughout America in 2015. The criteria is that four or more individuals had to be either wounded or killed in a shoot-out in order to make the map, and the results are staggering. It shows that there has been a shoot-out for every single week of the year so far in America, reaching 264 mass shooting in total. Meanwhile, President Obama has pleaded for gun control reform in a deeply emotional speech following the tragedy. https://youtu.be/6wHrpspY9xI Clip via PBS NewsHour
