The shooting at a Lunar New Year celebration in Monterey Park, California is now one of the deadliest mass shootings in modern US history.

On January 21, 2023, a gunman killed 10 people and injured 10 others at a dance hall, before attempting another shooting at a second dance hall nearby, according to police. Police now say they found the suspect the next day who had died by suicide.

The deadly shooting bears the unfortunate — but increasingly familiar — distinction of joining the ranks of the deadliest mass shootings in modern US history.

The Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit that tracks shootings in the US, counted at least 647 mass shootings in 2022. The organization defines a mass shooting as a single incident in which at least four people are shot, not including the gunman.

These are the details of 30 of the deadliest mass shootings in modern US history.
