After a significant drop in mass shootings in the United States during a pandemic-hit 2020, this year has seen several deadly ones. Police in Indianapolis say eight people were shot and killed in a shooting late Thursday at a FedEx facility. It follows a lull in mass killings during the pandemic in 2020, according to a database compiled by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University. That database tracks mass killings defined as four or more dead, not including the shooter. Among the latest attacks were shootings at three Atlanta-area massage businesses and a one at a Boulder, Colorado, supermarket.
