Forty-six percent of Gen Z say they worry about mass shootings. According to CentralSquare, 46% of Gen Z and 39% of Millennials are worried about armed incidents when they’re in public—that’s about double the 22% of Baby Boomers who say the same. The stats make sense considering that young people are more likely to experience the incidents, since the FBI reports that nearly a quarter occur at educational institutions. They’re also more likely to have undergone active shooter drills to prepare for such an event. (Newsweek)
