On Families & Children: FactCheck: School shootings are fact of life only in America

[Associated Press: JD Vance] lamented that school shootings are a "fact of life" and argued the U.S. needs to harden security to prevent more carnage.... "We don't have to like the reality that we live in, but it is the reality we live in. We've got to deal with it."

Are school shootings a "fact of life" everywhere? No, according to WorldPopulationReview.com--the United States leads the world by far, with 288 school shootings in the period 2009-2018. All other countries totaled 40 school shootings in that decade, meaning that the U.S. averaged one school shooting every two weeks, and all other countries, all combined, averaged one school shooting every three months for the entire rest of the world. Only 17 other countries had any school shootings at all, with Mexico's 8 school shootings a distant second to America's 288. In summary, school shootings ARE a fact of life in America, but not anywhere else in the world.
