The 4 person including assailant definition for a "mass shooting" has always seemed cherry picked to include the "depressed guy kills wife and kids scenario" even though the term brings to mind some sort of broadly antagonistic attack on the public at large. It's a propaganda effort designed to lend credence to the idea that gun control can somehow be effective. It caught on because the media at large seemingly despise guns and are are loath to acknowledge that anyone cam make one in their garage, let alone that none of the millions of current gun owners are at all likely to ever give them up.
