The FBI tallied a record number of attacks by active shooters last year with a record-breaking death toll of 138, according to a bureau report. The number of active shooter attacks was 50 percent higher than the previous year. It’s the first time an annual death toll in active shooting incidents exceeded 90 since the FBI began tracking the crimes in 2000. The FBI defines active shooters as gunmen actively killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area. (There were three women among 42 active shooters In the FBI’s previous report, which covered 2014 and 2015.)
