What is the definition of a mass shooting?
The Gun Violence Archive (and the Congressional Research Service) defines a mass shooting based on the number of people shot in an incident: four or more, not including the shooter. The GVA numbers — which have been disputed by pro-firearm organizations — may differ from the FBI or CDC as they collect data from 7,500 law enforcement, government and media sources, the site explains.
USA TODAY defines a mass shooting as an incident where at least four people are hit with gunfire. Mass killing refers to an incident in which at least four people are killed.
The FBI does not define “mass shooting” at all. The agency defines “mass killing” or “mass murder” as an incident in which four or more victims are killed by any intentional means, which may include gun violence.
