Out of the 97 countries where the CPRC identified mass public shootings occurring, the United States ranks 64th in the per capita frequency of these attacks and 65th in the murder rate.<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/study-refuted-mass-shootings\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"shootings-frequent-outside-us\" title=\"Updated Study Finds Mass Public Shootings More Frequent Outside U.S. and Increasing Much More Quickly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Obama-Era Study Refuted, US Accounts for Less than 3% of \u2018Mass Shootings\u2019<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The countries that rank higher than the U.S. aren\u2019t just those that exist in war-torn, \u201cnon-advanced\u201d regions, to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/fact-checker\/wp\/2015\/12\/03\/obamas-inconsistent-claim-on-the-frequency-of-mass-shootings-in-the-u-s-compared-to-other-countries\/?utm_term=.072b4d1a8d62\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"shootings-frequent-outside-us\" title=\"Updated Study Finds Mass Public Shootings More Frequent Outside U.S. and Increasing Much More Quickly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">President Obama\u2019s term.<\/a> The study found that Norway, Finland, France, Switzerland, and Russia all have at least 25 percent higher per capita murder rates from mass public shootings than the US.<\/p>\n<p>In total, over the 18 years from 1998 to 2015, the CPRC found 2,354 attacks and at least 4,880 shooters outside the United States.
