The multiple shootings that took place in Denver and Aurora this past weekend, including a fatal incident at 20th and Larimer streets, hardly represent an exception to the rule. Indeed, such episodes have become commonplace, and plenty of them happen on weekdays, too, as demonstrated by a shooting reported by the Aurora Police Department at 1:23 a.m. today, March 30. A woman was shot and killed on the 9700 block of East Mexico Avenue in an incident that's being investigated as a homicide.

This tragedy has not yet been added to the grim roster cataloged by the Gun Violence Archive, a website that tracks shootings across the country, including in Colorado. According to the site, there were 179 shootings in the state from January 1 to March 29, prior to this morning's violent episode. Given that there were 88 days in 2022 through yesterday, the average is slightly over two shootings per day.

The actual total is almost certainly larger. The Gun Violence Archive draws its information from media and law enforcement sources, many of which are concentrated in larger communities: Denver leads this year's Colorado roster with 53 shootings, followed by Aurora with 49 and Colorado Springs with 32. Shootings that aren't made public, such as most suicides, or that took place in smaller communities without significant media outlets tend to be beyond the website's scope.

Still, the Gun Violence Archive offers the best snapshot of shootings statewide, as well as the toll they take. The 179 from this year have resulted in seventy deaths and 142 injuries.

Continue to see the list, in reverse chronological order, complete with dates, locations and the number of people killed or injured in each shooting.
