Politics: There have been 273 mass shootings in the US so far in 2017 — here's the full list

The shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada, marked the 273rd mass shooting in America so far in 2017.

The death toll continues to rise in Las Vegas, Nevada, where a gunman killed at least 58 people and injured more than 500 others at a country music festival on Sunday night.

It was the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.

The incident marked the 273rd mass shooting in 2017, according to nonprofit Gun Violence Archive. To put this into perspective, we are 275 days into the year, which means the US has had nearly as many mass shootings as days in 2017.

There is no broadly accepted definition of a mass shooting. Gun Violence Archive, which tracks shootings in the US, defines a mass shooting as a single incident in which four or more people are "shot and/or killed," not including the shooter, at the same general time and location.

The government also doesn't have an official definition on the books. In 2013, a report from the Congressional Research Service, known as Congress's think tank, described a mass shooting as one in which the shooter "selects victims somewhat indiscriminately" and kills four or more people — a higher bar than the Gun Violence Archive sets, because it doesn't take injuries into account.

In 2013, a federal mandate lowered that threshold to three deaths. By this definition, using data from Gun Violence Archive, the Las Vegas event was the 38th mass shooting in the US in 2017.

Data from Gun Violence Archive also shows that more than 11,650 people have died from gun-related violence so far this year. An additional 23,000 others were injured.
