Many of the incidents you list here are not mass shootings.

Mass shooting as defined by the U.S. statute ( the Investigative Assistance for Violent Crimes Act of 2012) 3 or more killings in a single incident not including the shooter.

So the information you are listening most are not considered mass shootings. Just exaggerating numbers to increase public outcry over gun violence. Many of those shootings were not random acts of violence either they were gang related or vengeance driven
actions. Those in themselves are issue that needs to be addressed separately.

Out of your 323 school shootings this year 112 of them had a victim that was wounded or killed. They define a school shooting as any shots the were fired at or near a school.

It is sad that you people try to play with the numbers to enrage the public by internationally misreporting the facts.

@goodlil666 Especially something like this..

Jan. 22: A shot was fired at Wright State University in Dayton

Nowhere even close to the definition of mass shooting, not even a shooting.

@ruhbekuh Sad , but those are the games they play misrepresenting the real facts trying to enrage the public enough to restrict our second amendment rights.

The social issues that are creating all this deadly violence are what needs to be addressed. Most of the violence comes from inner city and the poor and poverty stricken areas of our country. Not all of it but a very large part of it.
