The Washington Post published the 1,196 victims of mass shootings since 1966 as part of a 12-page special section of Sunday's paper.

The section, titled "The Lives Lost," also includes descriptions of the shootings and photos of the 423 people killed between the Sandy Hook massacre, in which 20 children and six adults were killed in 2012, and last weekend's attack in Dayton, Ohio, where nine people died.
