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.

Some guy in California recently killed four people and wounded two … with a knife. 4 or more qualifies it as a mass killing. Those victims are just as dead as a mass shooting.
There's an agenda here, because you can't hold off a corrupt government or police force with a knife.
