Tuesday morning's fatal shooting at Reynolds High School is the 74th shooting on an American school campus since a lone gunman's attack on Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., in December 2012.
The list of shootings, which includes 13 school shootings in the first six weeks of this year, was compiled by Moms Demand Action for Guns Sense in America.
The 73rd shooting, according to the group, was last week's shooting at Seattle Pacific University, which claimed the life of a 19-year-old Westview High School graduate.
"We continue to keep it updated," said Stacey Radnor, a spokeswoman for the organization.
Incidents are classified as school shootings when a firearm is discharged inside a school building or on school or campus grounds, according to the organization. These include assaults, homicides, suicides or accidental shootings.
