25 people have been killed in four different mass shootings in the past week.

Over the past week, several cities across the state of California were rocked by fresh mass shooting events nearly back-to-back. After the latest shooting on Monday, 25 people have been killed in four different mass shootings in short timeframe, leaving Californians angry, tired, and starved for solutions.

“This proliferation of violence just seems like it’s perpetual,” said Tinisch Hollins, the executive director of survivor advocacy group Californians for Safety and Justice, in a statement obtained by The Guardian. “It’s so common now to hear of mass shootings that they don’t even stay in the headlines. Not even a day later, we’re talking about an entirely different incident. It’s horrifying.”

“At some point, you get tired of ‘thoughts and prayers’. You get tired of writing statements,” said Fernando Rejón, executive director of community safety organization Urban Peace Institute. “And you keep asking yourself, what is going to be the tipping point? After Uvalde and all these recent mass shootings, you think they’ll be the tipping point, and then it’s not.”

According to the Gun Violence Archive, in the mere three-and-a-half weeks since the beginning of 2023, there have already been 48 mass shooting events, officially defined as any gun-related violence in which at least four different people are shot.
