Guide des tueries aux États-Unis


Topo intéressant sur le site de Mother Jones. On y trouve une foule de renseignements pertinents. Par exemple 75% des armes utilisées par les tueurs avaient été achetées légalement et plus de la moitié de ces tueries se sont déroulées dans des écoles ou au travail.

 "More than half of the cases involved school or workplace shootings (12 and 20, respectively); the other 30 cases took place in locations including shopping malls, restaurants, and religious and government buildings. Forty four of the killers were white males. Only one of them was a woman. (See Goleta, Calif., in 2006.) The average age of the killers was 35, though the youngest among them was a mere 11 years old. (See Jonesboro, Ark., in 1998.) A majority were mentally troubled—and many displayed signs of it before setting out to kill. Explore the map for further details—we do not consider it to be all-inclusive, but based on the criteria we used we believe that we've produced the most comprehensive rundown available on this particular type of violence. (Mass shootings represent only a sliver of America's overall gun violence.)"
