    Mass shootings are horrific enough; using inflated or misleading statistics undermines the credibility of those (legitimately) calling for policy change https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/no-there-havent-been-18-school-shooting-in-2018-that-number-is-flat-wrong/2018/02/15/65b6cf72-1264-11e8-8ea1-c1d91fcec3fe_story.html …

        So only school shootings where people die count as school shootings. Got it.

        I’ll bet many of those incidences uncounted have all the terror of bullets that connect. I don’t like inflations or hyper-reactive responses but ppl who would suggest it’s not a problem based on “actually, the bullet didn’t connect on these cases” might be splitting hairs.

        So the writer's thesis is that a shooting at a school is not a school shooting. I will give that opinion all the consideration it deserves.

        On the one hand, many people have a direct connection to a gun death and thus get really emotional & reactionary after a traumatic event like this. On the other, we all need to be more responsible with the information we share.

        this kid wanted to grow up to be a school shooter? How does that happen? When will we examine the media's role in perpetuating these shootings. Troubled people seeking attention are getting it by shooting kids.

        These seem odd events to call out as misleading in 2018, though: the sorority event was at a college on a Saturday night, and the basketball game was a school event. Both seem reasonable to include in a definition of "school shootings." Going only by clock time isn't useful.pic.twitter.com/4hS7XZlzB2

        So how many school shootings would be OK with you exactly? This is such a craven position.
