In case you were curious (and I was) data taken from the Gun Violence Archive which defines mass shootings this way.
|
"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."
I know that some sources try to tease out shootings which occur in the context of other crimes, e.g. drug deals gone bad.
