[–] 44 points 3 years ago (13 children)

Felt like it had been a while since I read about a mass shooting in the USA.

    Just because they don't report shootings under ten kills anymore does not mean they don't happen. But mass shootings, i.e. incidents where four or more people are killed) are still daily occurances in the US.

    That definition is so ridiculous. Shoot 100 without killing a single one? That wasn't a mass shooting.

    I would say that's a mass shooting, just not a mass killing

    The last one was August 26th according to this wikipedia list, which is 60 days ago. But there were 2 in August 3 days apart, so... I guess it has been a while by comparison.

    But only if you don't look at this other list on Wikipedia. This list has only 1 of a chosen set of sources who referred to it as a mass killing, the other lists mass killings where 2+ of their sources called it a mass killing. I wonder how long the 3+ sources list will be before it gets it own fork.

    I remember a time when each would be the center of news for at least a week.
