879 children died in the US during school shootings in the past 10 years. Source
That is higher than the number of Military casualties from the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Poland combined during the war in Afghanistan (2001-2021). Except for the US, these are the countries with the most casualties during that 20 year war. Source
The risk of dying should be higher for soldiers during a war than for students at a school.
