The way YOU describe a ‘mass shooting’ and the way the MEDIA does is vastly different!

The source defines a school shooting as every time a gun is brandished, fired, or a bullet hits school property for any reason.

Education Week  has been tracking school shootings since 2018. According to its database, 119 such incidents have taken place since then.
There were 27 school shootings with injuries or deaths this year.
The organization tracks shootings where a firearm was discharged and where any person (other than the suspect) has a bullet wound resulting from the incident.

 

The Gun Violence Archive, an independent data collection organization, has counted 212 mass shootings that have occurred so far this year, as of Tuesday. It defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people were shot or killed, excluding the shooter.
