The "definitions" section is pretty interesting. Firstly, all of the different definitions maintain that a mass shooting must occur in one location. I'm guessing a roving gunman would be more of a "shooting spree". While I understand the distinction, I wonder how much the numbers skew when considering shooting sprees. Secondly, the last definition (Congressional Research Service) excludes "gang-related killings and those done with a profit-motive". Once again, I wonder how much the numbers go up when considering those types of shootings. Based on my own personal experience with crime statistics (it's a hobby of mine), I think if we were to see a list of "people shooting lots of other people" that doesn't look for such specific criteria, we will see an even scarier picture of the state of violence in the US. The number of gun stand-offs with police is horrifying enough. Edit: my last sentence prompted me to check the numbers for this year, and to my surprise "killedbypolice.net" has been bought by a gun company. Very propagandist move. It looks like Washington Post is maintaining the list now, however[1]. Edit2: Aha! Found the Wikipedia list for "rampage killings"[2] [1]: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/police-shootings-database/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/polic...
