M'lady, people that get shot and live count as well. It says that clearly.
Everytown defines a mass shooting as any incident in which four or more people are shot and killed, excluding the shooter.
No, this definition is using people dying. Clicking the link shows they have a different count for “shot and wounded”

Gun Violence Archive have the best definition but imo, when thinkin of a mass shooting, the motive matters.

simply using the word ONLY is trash.

If the goal is 0 in 365 days and we end up with 4 in 365. "Only" is apt.


Mass ShootingFOUR or more shot and/or killed in a single event [incident], at the same general time and location not including the shooter.


That's the Gun Violence Archive definition.


Obviously that includes all illicit activities which I don't think should be counted :yeshrug:

You seemed to be confused that your opinion matters and needs to be shared.

They're linked in the article.

Mother Jones and The Violence Project have it at 6
They only count incidents in which people died, and the attacks are "indiscriminate in nature," so for instance Uvalde, or even Pulse in Orlando probably wouldn't count. I don't trust that.

Do you think it should count as a mass shooting when people involved in illicit activity shoot at eachother and 4+ people are shot?
4 innocent victims, yes, 4 people involved in the illicit activity/targeted individuals - no

mass shooting should be: shooting that takes place anywhere (public space or private property), 3/4+ "innocent"/uninvolved victims have been injured or killed, doesn't matter if shooter(s) is/are alive or dead, the victim body count is all that matters
