Why do the majority of people not include gang shootings if this is an accepted definition of mass shooting?

The reality is gang shootings are why there are 200+ mass shootings a year in the US.

"Crime violence research group Gun Violence Archive, whose research is used by all major American media outlets, defines mass shooting as “FOUR or more shot and/or killed in a single event [incident], at the same general time and location, not including the shooter,” differentiating between mass shooting and mass murder [killing] and not counting shooters as victims."

I'm really looking forward to a certain individuals reply to this. Let the BS begin and as always attempt to make himself sound more educated than he really is.

i dont want it included since when u look up mass shootings, you want to know about mass shootings where the victims are random people and not part of some gang beef

@HunterDude was about to make exactly that point. I assume that's usually the reason

@HunterDude Think about this for a sec. Would you include the ones NOT involved with gangs? I'm talking about maybe the gang banging fucks neighbors that are hit because of a chickenshit doing a driveby.

@MalteseFalconPunch that is correct. If you look at the list of mass shootings this year, gang shootings are included.

@Scubaguy027 still no since its not their point to get innocent people. to me, mass shooting is where the point is to target random people
