"The FBI uses the term "mass murder" when 4 or more people are killed in a single episode."

Isn't that consistent with the usage on this post? And why are we quibbling about this? "Multiple shooting," "mass murder," "mass shooting" - what's the big difference?

You are right, and some people look for an argument where ever they can find one.
