Original Note:
The article defines mass shootings as 4+ people being shot. This expanded definition means the number of shootings is inflated to be emotionally misleading. The vast majority of those 400 shootings are gang on gang violence, not random attacks on schools or populated areas. https://nmvvrc.org/learn/about-mass-violence/ https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis/essays/mass-shootings.html
