Can mass shootings cause more mass shootings? This is what the research says.

RELATEDPresident Trump links video games to mass shootings, explained

There were 10 mass shootings from Feb. 17 through Feb. 19 – the most of any weekend so far this year, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive. That’s considering all shootings from Friday to Sunday in which four or more people were shot, not including the shooter or shooters.

The number of shootings over the weekend is unusual for mid-February in the U.S., experts told USA TODAY. The incidents come on the heels of several high-profile mass shootings in California last month, as well as an attack at Michigan State University.
