There have so far been at least 233 mass shootings in 2022, according to the nonprofit organization Gun Violence Archive — including today's shooting in Tulsa.
June 1 was the 152nd day of the year. This means there have been more mass shootings this year than there have been days in 2022.
CNN and the GVA define a mass shooting as a shooting that injured or killed four or more people, not including the shooter.

St. Francis Health System gives update after shooting
From CNN's Andy Rose
St. Francis Health System, which runs the hospital where Wednesday's shooting took place, said in a statement on Facebook that all Warren Clinic appointments scheduled before noon on Thursday are canceled and some offices will be closed for the remainder of the week.
Tulsa Police Department Capt. Richard Meulenberg told CNN's Laura Coates that officials are not releasing the name of the shooter or any information pertaining to the individual due to the ongoing investigation at the scene, as well as investigations underway at other locations.
“So we're still working with other agencies and other jurisdictions as this is related to a much bigger issue with this shooter,” he said.
Meulenberg said police do not believe anyone else is in danger, but they are looking at locations outside of the facility. He added that the police do not think the shooter was targeting the entire five-floor facility, but instead that he targeted the second floor and “went to this floor with purpose."
After law enforcement breached the door, they found the gunman dead with both “a rifle and pistol on his person,” the captain said.

Tulsa Police Department Capt. Richard Meulenberg told CNN's Laura Coates multiple people were wounded in the shooting on the St. Francis Hospital campus.
“We have some other wounded – less than 10,” Meulenberg said.
Those injured are not suffering life-threatening injuries, according to Meulenberg.
He said investigators are trying to determine if those injured were wounded by gunfire or from the chaos of escaping the scene.
“We're still figuring it out as people scattered and were carted off very quickly to this hospital and other hospitals with injuries,” Meulenberg said.

Tulsa Police officers responded to the scene of an active shooting on the St. Francis Hospital campus within minutes of the first call, arriving while the shooting was ongoing, Deputy Chief Eric Dalgleish said in a news conference Wednesday night.
“The officers that did arrive were hearing shots in the building, and that’s what directed them to the second floor,” he said.
The shooting took place in the Natalie Medical Building on the St. Francis campus.
“This campus is sacred ground for our community,” said Mayor G.T. Bynum, who praised the response of law enforcement. “Men and women of the Tulsa Police Department did not hesitate."
Police say four victims were shot to death. It was not immediately clear whether the victims were medical staffers, patients or both. Dalgleish described the shooting scene as an orthopedic center.
Police said they were still working to identify the shooter and his motive. The shooter died from what is believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and no police officers were injured, Dalgleish said.
“There will obviously be many questions, and there will be a very bumpy road, I think, ahead of us,” said Dr. Cliff Robertson, St. Francis Health System CEO, adding that the shooting was a “senseless, horrible, incomprehensible act.”
