Maybe God would bail him out? It would only be fair.

It's pretty messed up, in my opinion, to put spin on a tragedy like this. Is it really necessary to reduce this to numbers just so you can apply a label? What good comes from a that? You get to pat yourself on the back for including this event in a statistic that validates your narrative? Not saying you're wrong. Just hoping you might regard the humanity of the situation before deciding to capitalize on it.

One strict definition used in the past by the federal government says at least four victims must be killed. - I’m just going to leave that right there.....

Sure it is. Who are you to say it isn't?

From Gun Violence Archive:

GVA uses a purely statistical threshold to define mass shooting based ONLY on the numeric value of 4 or more shot or killed, not including the shooter. GVA does not parse the definition to remove any subcategory of shooting. To that end we don’t exclude, set apart, caveat, or differentiate victims based upon the circumstances in which they were shot.

GVA believes that equal importance is given to the counting of those injured as well as killed in a mass shooting incident.

The FBI does not define Mass Shooting in any form. They do define Mass Killing but that includes all forms of weapon, not just guns.

In that, the criteria are simple…if four or more people are shot or killed in a single incident, not involving the shooter, that incident is categorized as a mass shooting based purely on that numerical threshold.

domestic incident

Sandy Hook started as a domestic incident too. May want to reel back your pedantic semantics.

But if we compile the information, instead of itemizing a death count. We still come to same conclusion yes? Despite what you want to think about where these transpired. The single shooter acquired the body count necessary to hold the definition correct?
