| The higher a city's Black population, the more likely it is to experience a mass shooting. That's according to a new study from Tulane University researchers looking at the demographics of these events. Across 51 of the largest US metro areas, mass shootings – in which at least four victims are shot – were correlated with places with high segregation rates and large wealth gaps, suggesting that discriminatory housing practices like redlining, and the lack of economic opportunities, made Black Americans more vulnerable. The findings disrupt the nation's image of mass shootings, which has been shaped by high-profile events in which most of the victims were not Black, Isabel Webb Carey and Fola Akinnibi report.
