I think this is a good summary. Short version. Mass shootings are a lot more common than the population would indicate in the US. School mass shootings are vastly more common.

And the number of all mass shooting have tripled since 2011. And none knows why, because there's no obvious answer and since it's gun violence, research is forbidden.
