They define mass shootings differently than it has been in the past, to jack up the numbers. They define it as three or more people shot, regardless of extent of injury or any other qualifiers.
The overwhelming majority are of precisely three people, none of whom die. Drive-bys and family squabbles are equated with the incidences you are thinking of.
