Not sure if you can correlate that without data. I'm an introvert. I preferred the lockdowns, didn't affect my mental health. However, I totally empathize with extroverts who were in lockdown without people and needed that outlet. There are always mass shootings, we just aren't privy to all of them, which is the unfortunate thing about this country. There have been mass shootings, suicides, and violence prior to lockdown. The problem is still guns.
Here's a chart from 2021.

Certainly seems like the numbers have always been high prior to 2020.
