Where can I find a public shooting database (i.e. a list of every shooting since Columbine)?

I just wanted to see how much public shootings have increased and how many suicides have been a result of these shootings over the past 10 years.

Reply:www.google.com
Reply:Harvard University School of Public Health, Injury Control Research Center. The link below is for the "fire arms research" division. The kind of stats you are interested are more likely to be found in a research center such as this because they have to pull them from each state individually. This link has info on gun deaths and suicides, but it looks like you'll have to read through the information.
