Context: Transgender People & School Shootings
Understanding these numbers requires population context. Transgender people are statistically rare among school shooting assailants — consistent with or below their share of the general population.
0.24%
Trans assailants as % of all assailants in this dataset (3 of 1257)
3
Total transgender assailants across all incidents on record
99.8%
Non-transgender assailants as % of all assailants
Note: Even if transgender representation among assailants equaled their population share (~0.8%), the vast majority of school shootings would still be carried out by non-transgender individuals. These data do not support the claim that transgender identity is a risk factor for school violence. See the Analysis page for full statistical breakdown.
