Mathew 24:12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.

Important Takeaways:

• The US sets a grim milestone with a new record for the deadliest six months of mass killings
• From Jan. 1 to June 30, the nation endured 28 mass killings, all but one of which involved guns. The death toll rose just about every week, a constant cycle of violence and grief.
• Six months. 181 days. 28 mass killings. 140 victims. One country.
• A mass killing is defined as an occurrence when four or more people are slain, not including the assailant, within a 24-hour period. A database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University tracks this large-scale violence dating back to 2006.
• The 2023 milestone beat the previous record of 27 mass killings, which was only set in the second half of 2022. James Alan Fox, a criminology professor at Northeastern University, never imagined records like this when he began overseeing the database about five years ago.
