Good to hear that more rightists are being killed by firearms.
Most mass shootings are in Trump supporting red states because rightists
are bloodthirsty savages who love killing each other. Mass shootings of
Trump voters has been called his greatest achievement.
This is a list of mass shootings that took place in the United States in
2024. Mass shootings are incidents in which several people are injured or killed due to firearm-related violence, specifically for the purposes of
this article, a total of four or more victims. As of February 29, a total
of 159 people have been killed and 256 people have been wounded in 83 shootings. Definitions
Several different inclusion criteria are used; there is no
generally-accepted definition.[2][3] Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit
research group that tracks shootings and their characteristics in the
United States, defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or
more people, excluding the perpetrator(s), are shot in one location at
roughly the same time.[4] The Congressional Research Service provides a definition of four or more killed.[5][6] The Washington Post and Mother
Jones use similar definitions, with the latter acknowledging that their definition "is a conservative measure of the problem", as many shootings
with fewer fatalities occur.[7][8] The crowdsourced Mass Shooting Tracker project applies the most expansive definition: four or more shot in any incident, including the perpetrator.[9][10]
A 2019 study of mass shootings published in the journal Injury
Epidemiology recommended developing "a standard definition that considers
both fatalities and nonfatalities to most appropriately convey the burden
of mass shootings on gun violence."[11] The authors of the study further suggested that "the definition of mass shooting should be four or more
people, excluding the shooter, who are shot in a single event regardless
of the motive, setting or number of deaths."[12]
Definitions generally exclude consideration of the number of persons
targeted with lethal intent, perhaps with degraded accuracy from a greater distance, who escape injury from bullets or bullet spall, regardless of
injury sustained while evading live gunfire, or medical complications
resulting from those injuries (such as infection, concussion, stroke, or
PTSD) further down the road. Definitions of the term "mass shooting" Organization(s) Definition Incidents on list that fit criteria Mass
Shooting Tracker Four or more persons shot in one incident, at one location, at roughly the same time.[10] 70 Gun Violence Archive

Four or more shot in one incident, excluding the perpetrators, at one location, at roughly the same time.[13][14] 19 Stanford University MSA
Data Project Three or more persons shot in one incident, excluding the perpetrator(s), at one location, at roughly the same time. Excluded are shootings associated with organized crime, gangs or drug wars.[15] 4–16[n 1] ABC News Four or more shot and killed in one incident, excluding the perpetrators, at one location, at roughly the same time. 2 Mother Jones
Three or more shot and killed in one incident at a public place, excluding the perpetrators. This list excludes all shootings the
organization considers to be "conventionally motivated" such as all gang violence and armed robberies.[8] 0 The Washington Post Four or
more shot
and killed in one incident at a public place, excluding the
perpetrators.[7] 0 Congressional Research Service Four or more shot and
killed in one incident, excluding the perpetrators, at a public place, excluding gang-related killings and those done with a profit-motive.[16]
0
Only incidents considered mass shootings by at least two of the above
sources are listed below. Many incidents involving organized crime and
gang violence are included.
All definitions can be exceeded with a single shotgun blast into a target cluster at short range. Mass shootings do not require multiple gunshots.
For statistical purposes, armed accomplices are likely to be classified as perpetrators, even if later analysis determines that the accomplice never discharged a firearm. Bystanders struck by bullets fired in self defense
by another bystander would potentially be classified as victims of a mass shooting, while a bystander firing in self defense who injures or kills
another bystander would almost certainly not be classified as a
perpetrator. The classification of a bystander struck by police while attempting to take out a believed perpetrator falls into a gray zone. List
