America's worst state for active shooters revealed
Texas saw more active shooter reports than any other state in 2024 — with disturbing incidents unfolding everywhere from church pews to parking lots, according to a shocking new FBI report. The Lone Star State logged four separate active shooter events last year, the most in the country, leaving 11 people either dead or injured. California and North Carolina trailed behind with two each. Texas is a key driver of that spike, with a staggering 22 incidents recorded over five years, second only to California's 25. In total, 369 people have been killed and 701 injured in U.S. active shooter attacks since 2020. The FBI's definition of 'active shooter' is specific: it refers to someone trying to kill in a populated area, typically with a gun — even if there's just one victim. It is not the same as a mass shooting, which is defined as an incident where four or more people are killed by gunfire at the same location. Texas's loose gun laws may also factor into the state's high numbers. The state has some of the most permissive firearm regulations in the U.S. Residents are allowed to carry handguns in public without a license or training under the 2021 permit less carry law. There is no requirement to register firearms or report private gun sales, and background checks for such transactions are not mandatory. Texas also has a strong 'stand your ground' law and no waiting period for gun purchases. Despite Texas's lead in raw numbers, the most deadly single shooting of 2024 took place in Arkansas, where a gunman opened fire at a supermarket in June, killing four and injuring 10. Her son was critically injured in the exchange, along with a 57-year-old man. Authorities later revealed the weapon had been purchased legally in 2016 and had a 'Palestine' sticker on it. The motive behind the attack remains under investigation. 'Civilians should understand the risks… and utilize available resources to prepare for, prevent, and survive such incidents,' the FBI warned in the report.
