Where does the number “377 mass shootings” come from?

Anti-gun guy on Tucker just said this. What constitutes a “mass shooting”? A double homicide?

375 of them took place in Chicago.

I read somewhere when there are four or more casualties/ people involved.

I think it's 3 or more people shot at one event. Probably a daily occurrence in Chicago and other gang-ridden cities.
Dude on Tucker wanted to make it sound as if we have a bunch of angry white males with rebel flags committing 377 mass shootings a year.

Depends on the source. Using the FBI definition the number is vastly lower. That 377 probably comes from here:

Crowd sourced, error prone, and biased.

Here at the Mass Shooting Tracker, we count the number of people shot rather than the number people killed because, “shooting” means “people shot”.
For instance, in 2012 Travis Steed and others shot 18 people total. Miraculously, he only killed one. Under the incorrect definition used by the media and the FBI, that event would not be considered a mass shooting! Arguing that 18 people shot during one event is not a mass shooting is absurd.
Our definition is this: a mass shooting is an incident where four or more people are shot in a single shooting spree. This may include the gunman himself, or police shootings of civilians around the gunman.

ummm basically. Chicago has a black on black crime problem. White males have a mass shooting issue. Both need to be dealt with or wiped off the planet earth.
