There is a suffix for this, but too early. Still sensitive.

Has this thread turned into a dumbass conversation about guns or no guns instead of 15 people getting shot?
nah. a “mass” of people might have been shot, but it is not a “mass shooting,” as has been the accepted definition until only recent political concerns compelled a shift in its interpretation.
These nikkas goofy as hell and will act obtuse as fukk when you bring up shyt. This is a perfect example. These fukk nikkas wanna argue semantics and shyt, knowing damn well when we traditionally speak of mass shootings, they are of the different type. Not the type when someone gets mad over an incident and immediately shoots a spot up. It don’t matter at the end of the day, cause you have innocent people getting shot and that’s all that matters. But these nikkas are for sure gonna act as if they are oblivious as fukk to the facts of how we looked at/viewed these shootings.
You have to be very mindful of the places you go and the company you keep. It's always been that way though.....and it's common sense.

Mass Shooting Tracker
How do you define “mass shooting”?
We define a mass shooting to be an incident of violence in which 4 or more people are shot. We do not consider the motive of the shooter, or whether he or she shot up a school, workplace or street corner. Our mission is to record all incidents of mass gun violence. We include the shooter's death because suicide matters and means matter. Ignoring the shooter's death is not logically consistent with research that tracks the death toll of firearm suicides in our society.
HOW IS ‘MASS SHOOTING’ DEFINED?
There is no concrete definition of “mass shooting.” Most researchers who study mass shootings define it as four or more killed (excluding the shooter) in a public place. They do not count domestic violence cases that take place in the home nor do they include gang-related violence. That is also the definition used by the Congressional Research Service.Things to know about mass shootings
The AP is incorrect here. The people don't have to die for it to be a mass shooting. Just that 4 or more were shot.
Some agencies that keep track of these numbers don't include the shooter if they committed suicide after their shooting spree.

its not conditioning...
people fear things that have a possibility affecting them.
Heart Disease is the leading cause of death but you can buy junk food because thats a choice YOU make...
smoking is outlawed in public places because it affects others.
typically mass shooting was used for indiscriminate shootings...
someone shooting at random is much different than people beefing turning into gunplay.
The term Mass Shooting is now used as a way to strike even more fear in the public.
im not disagreeing with people using the term but its probably better to be more specific.
