Why?
Re: Only in America
A very cursory google search yielded this one, but you might dismiss it as 'not a mass shooting' because the guy was stopped at 3.

"Many more people would've died last night if not for a responsible armed citizen that took action very quickly within the first two minutes of the shooting," Mr Ison said.
"I will say his actions were nothing short of heroic," the police chief added.
The attacker was identified as a 20-year-old local resident who had recently been evicted and lost his job at a warehouse.
Two of the three people killed were a husband and wife, and the third was a 30-year-old man. A 22-year-old woman and a 12-year-old girl were injured.

Re: Only in America
You seem to claim there was a "good guy with gun" stopping a mass shooting.
Re: Only in America
Mass shooting math is weird. This guy stopped the killer at 3 - was that counted as a 'mass shooting'?
When gangs shoot each other nightly in big cities, are THEY counted as 'mass shooting'?

Re: Only in America
Surely you’re free to count as a mass shooting whatever you want, you’ll just have to convince others to agree. That’s where most of us fail.
So, step up and make your case. Gang related mass shootings by cunt,

The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

It's how it is counted in the statistics.
So if you die by gunfire in a Chicago gang-related war, you are not a victim of a mass shooting. If you are a gang member who dies in a gunfight, you might be counted as a child killed by guns. (rather than a gang member killed by a gang member)
What's that saying again? Lies, damned lies and statistics?
