What constitutes a mass shooting?

[Remington 90T]

What constitutes a mass shooting. Is all about who is there? One killed in 21 injured at the Kansas parade is all over the national new. -- When Chicago papers good news headlines in January -- Violent crimes down 13% --- with 2452 shootings --617 killed.

Last time I checked, they record it as any shooting involving 3 or more people shot.

Which is why the numbers are so inflated.

That's the Gun Violence Archive's numbers (4 shot, includes the shooter.)

The FBI's numbers were for mass public shooting: 4 killed not counting the bad guy.

Nothing like the gun grabbers trigger words to stir everyone up. When people intend to do harm, they always pick the soft targets with the most people. Mostly “gun free” zones for “mass shootings” because the left simply can’t understand criminals don’t obey laws!! Words mean nothing to them.

Just like "assault weapon"
