According to CNN, the shootings occurred between Friday, October 30, and Sunday, November 1, in different parts of the country, including California, Michigan, Alabama, Delaware, Texas, Florida and Mississippi.
The preliminary figures were compiled using reports from law enforcement agencies and data from the Gun Violence Archive.
One of the incidents occurred on Friday at a Spirit Halloween store in Fairfield, California, where a 31-year-old pregnant woman, identified by family members as Constance Hages, was killed and six others were wounded.
Police described the shooting as a targeted attack. Three of the injured victims were reported to be in critical condition.
