Do people dying from falling bullets shot into the air count as a mass shooting?
saucerman

There were mass shootings in 1776 as well. Perhaps it’s just habit.

it's not even dark yet

It’s dark, all right. Nothing to do with the sun.
Isometimestakethingsliterally
Oh shit, don't tell the cops!
meatgortex
If we count shooting with more than 1 injury/death we are at 21 today.
meatgortex
7 if you need 4 injury/deaths

I’m in Chicago - one in a suburb (Highland Park) about 30 minutes north of me. Shitty all around but also an Anti-Semitic hate crime ?
oldguyexlurker
Should have been "four" the the 1st panel and "five" in the second. Just sayin'

What would America be without a good ole' mass murder on the Fourth of Fucking July! How's that new gun law working? 1/

Nothing more American than mass shootings though
heartbrake1
Gun shootings are as American as Apple pie.

Obviously you can't talk about gun control so soon after a mass shooting. Show some sensitivity.....
Onlyhereforthelaughs
Well, as long as they keep doing them, I guess we can't talk about them. :\
RedFairladyZ32
That's their winning strategy.

The right has started their civil war already.
JonathanMidwatch
Honestly, I remember the shooting & bombing of abortion clinics/drs, & planned p’hood offices since the 80s. I’d say it started a while ago.
GravityOtter
Really?! I’ve been cold from the internet most of the day
Clarysage
Wow, I was going to wish you lot a happy independence day (from my country - good choice!) but you're really going through some shit.
LeftRightThere
After today, some people won’t be able to count that high with their fingers
hydrocarbon82
To be fair our education system gives HS diplomas to people that can't, even with 10 fingers.
caulkismychoiceoflube
Those people probably can't count at all
Songoftheshadow
Six now
Songoftheshadow
Boston 4, Sacramento 4, Highland 31, Kansas 4, Chicago 5, Richmond 6. Number is death count.
Songoftheshadow
My bad, number is Injured, not dead.
Nowunithink
They were literally talking about this when the roe was overturned. Today and tomorrow will be bloody this is organized
MeatraffleJackpot
NGL, as far as I'm concerned 'mass shooting in usa' solicits the same compassion fatigue as 'suicide bomber in Beirut'. It's just noise.
thedarkcanuck
Yeah like, how many "random" shooters that all happen to follow the same ideology can you have before you admit that it's not a coincidence?
NancyReaganSchoolOfGawk
What’s tomorrow?
TakenToaster
Judging by how things are going…The Purge?
Gestalt7
It's the GQP Purge. Which means they break the law with impunity and escape prosecution. You know, an average day in America...
TakenToaster
Any new shootings today? Just an average day in America

Day's far from over, yet https://massshootingtracker.site/

Hbd to your moms.

Thanks. She would have been 85 if cancer didn’t take her in 2004. Fuck cancer.

Tomorrow is the day the organized protests are supposed to take place. So we will most likely see excessive force from law enforcement

Thank you for letting me know. I’m out of the loop. I appreciate you.

How would you like to enforce that?

Where are the other 4? I can't find any info on them
Elkarlo77
there had been 6 Masshootings which qualify for it. https://massshootingtracker.site/
EroticZombiePants
America has so many mass shootings, most of them don't even make it beyond the local news anymore.

BenderBenderBender
The others seem to be crime, gang or personally motivated. Not to say they aren’t mass shootings, but they don’t have the same M.O. as the >
BenderBenderBender
< Highland Park (hence no media coverage). The Kansas City one is odd but even that one seems more like a crime spree.
PirateOne
That one sounds to me like somebody fired into the air to celebrate. Multiple gunshots, five hit but no serious injuries…
Daevram1123
https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/total-number-of-incidents
PirateOne
That source only lists one mass shooting
ImNotReallyADoctor
Still only see 1... pretty sure 1 person getting shot isn't a mass shooting
swedeonamoose
someone dosnt ahve to die for it to count as a mass shooting, 4-5 victims dead or wounded i think is usually how its counted.
thedudeman519
Sacramento, CA. Shreveport , LA . Highland Park, IL
thedudeman519
4 or more victims is the typical definition. They don't have to die.
graehall
Imagine what sort of gun nut ghoul you'd have to be to say it doesn't count as a mass shooting if 4+ people were "just brutally shot"
escalinci
The definition is apparently at least 4 killed+injured
https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/last-72-hours?sort=desc&order=%23%20Injured
The701
Going by that, there have so far been seven instances with four or more casualties: Shreveport, Louisiana;
Sacramento, California;
The701
Kansas City, Missouri; Chicago, Illinois; Richmond, Virginia; Highland Park, Illinois. In those 7 cases: 54 people injured, and 7 killed.
