The statistic used is 3 or more victims. Take that for what it is.

If you believe the left, women are more likely to be raped on college campuses than in Somalia.

and you are more likely to die from gunfire than in Afghanistan.

IIRC it's when three or more people die that it is considered a mass shooting so when Tyrone shoots Marquis, Jamal, and Darnell with an illegal firearm over a bad drug deal it gets counted as a mass shooting.

By that standard Chicago alone accounts for half the mass shootings in America.

3 or more and it’s shootings, not killings.

If you believe the right, every Mexican male crossing the border is coming to rape your women.

No. They conflate gang violence with mass shootings and hope no one notices.

They also claim this was the 18th school shooting this year in the US.

Even the Russians couldn’t do propaganda like our media does these days
