Biden exits with low public approval. Where did he go wrong?
We noticed that 13 out of 20 of the cities were located in the South. That's Samantha Story, managing editor at The Trace. Places like Selma, Alabama, Clarksdale, Mississippi, places you wouldn't expect to have a higher shooting rate per capita than, say, Chicago or Philadelphia, which are more typically known for having high rates of shootings.

And that to me was really eye-opening because so much of what we hear about in the media about school shootings are school shootings that take place actually in the schools, on the school grounds.
