Mass Shootings in the U.S.:
Data Visualization
I built these visualizations in d3 to address four questions: where have the mass shooting occurred? Which states have the toughest laws and do those laws have an effect on the number of mass shootings in that state? How many of the shooters used assault weapons and did the use of assault weapons result in a greater number of injuries or fatalities? Has the number of mass shooting risen since 1982?
I’m a bit of a data visualization nut and I’m just getting started with d3. I wrote more about this project on my blog. You can see the interactive versions of these visualizations there, too.
