In 46 weeks this year, there have been 45 school shootings

They have taken place across the country. From Georgia to California. At elementary, middle and high schools. On college and university campuses.

In 46 weeks this year, there have been 45 school shootings. That's nearly an average of one school shooting a week.

Of those, 32 of them were at facilities serving Kindergarten through 12th grade.

Since there is no single definition for what qualifies as a school shooting, CNN set the following parameters:

November 15
