    The general public is definitely at risk if a drug buy goes bad a bullets start flying all over the place.

      This one happened at a private house, still classified as a mass shooting.

        Do you not realize that bullets go through walls? Luckily it was contained but could have easily turned into a tragedy if some toddler sleeping next door gets hit by a stray bullet. You are arguing semantics, just because it happened at someone’s home instead of public doesn’t not make it a mass shooting. You just want the numbers to look better so you can ignore certain types of gun violence. When in reality it should be lumped together because it is a systematic problem that needs to be fixed.

          Again, not the same class of shooting as a random attack in a public place.

              Not all gun violence is a mass shooting. That’s the point.

                  It does though, because certain types of shootings don’t put the public at risk. A shootout between two rival gangs is not the same as some psycho shooting up a grocery store.

                    No it’s exactly the same, you would rather just ignore it because they are gang members.
