      N. Bourbaki Retweeted CNN

      When you go past the link and read what CNN is counting as a "school shooting", you may be left perplexed.https://twitter.com/CNN/status/997495341774753792 …

      N. Bourbaki added,

      Including today’s shooting incident at a Texas high school, this year there have already been 22 school shootings where someone was hurt or killed. That averages out to more than 1 shooting a week. https://cnn.it/2Ir9JOR  pic.twitter.com/Qsw0WlLlJv

      For instance, it counts incidents like this as a "school shooting".http://www.kctv5.com/story/37946972/man-shot-in-stomach-at-raytown-south-middle-school-track-meet …

      Which is less "Columbine-esque shooting" and more "crime committed near a school".

      It also counts accidental firearm discharges, like this one:https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/07/us/birmingham-alabama-school-shooting/index.html …

      It /also/ counts crimes committed, not at a school as such, but at school-related facilities during non-school hours, like this one:https://www.wfmynews2.com/article/news/crime/man-wanted-in-death-of-winston-salem-state-university-football-player/511252550 …

      Here's another one from the list which is better described as "crime which takes place near a school":http://6abc.com/man-32-killed-outside-lincoln-high-school-in-mayfair-idd/3013312/ …

      I'm tempted actually to go through the entire list on offer and see which of them count as "school shootings" in the sense of "like Parkland/Columbine", but I've got other things to do. Suffice it to say that this is a very misleading list.

      And the people at CNN are not stupid. I expect they know, or strongly suspect, that saying "there have been 22 school shootings this year" will lead people to think "there have been 22 Parkland-esque incidents this year".
