The Alarming Rise of Workplace Shootings in the US.

Workplace mass shootings have seen a slight uptick in recent years, with most involving current or former employees who have a problem with the workplace, have easy access to guns, and may be experiencing their own mental health challenges. Factors behind the increased frequency of workplace mass shootings in recent years include more people physically returning to work, increased gun ownership, and policies such as the relaxation of laws about carrying guns in public. Specific gun control policies and workplace responses, such as early reporting of threats, could help curb such incidents.
