Gun violence in the United States has been on the rise over the years. According to the BBC, about 488 mass shootings have occurred in 2024 alone, with CNN reporting that 83 of them are inside schools.

According to The Washington Post's September report, about 417 school shootings have taken place since 1999. CNN further adds that during the pandemic, the number of such horrific incidents saw a major decline, but since life resumed after the coronavirus, so have the school shooting cases. Despite the rising cases, there is no regulation on gun laws, with children, too, having easy access to firearms. In light of such a social and political crisis, the Bronx Documentary Center (BDC) is hosting a powerful exhibition that sheds light on school shootings in the country. . thephoblographer.com
