(Talking about pulling the gun stats from Mass Shooting Tracker) "That definition of four or more shot rarely translate into four or more killed. One-third of these 'mass shootings' result in no fatalities and only 5% are mass killings. However, this scary one-a-day statistic is rolled out whenever there is a large-scale mass killing, allowing unsophisticated readers to make the wrong connection." James Allan Fox, Prof of Criminology, Law and Public Policy at Northwestern University.
