Between 1982 and April 2021, 66 out of the 123 mass shootings in the United States were carried out by white shooters.
By comparison, the perpetrator was African American in 21 mass shootings, and Latino in 10.
When calculated as percentages, this amounts to 53 percent, 17 percent and eight percent respectively.
Broadly speaking, the racial distribution of mass shootings mirrors the racial distribution of the U.S. population as a whole.
