i agree with your sentiment, but, based on my reading of the article, it feels like a family dispute/murder (happened in a home at 4am) whereas mass shootings tend to exist to maximize casualties in a large gathering
that depends; what label are you going for, how are the people connected, where did each die, and how far apart were their deaths(chronologically, where the previous question can tell us spatially)?
there's a whole system for the taxonomy of these things.
Here's the thing. You said a "household shooting is a mass shooting." Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that. As someone who is a scientist who studies mass shootings, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls household shootings mass shootings...
I remember reading about a scoreboard on Encyclopedia Dramatica when i was an edgy teenager, but fuck, if it doesnt get high on that scoreboard its basically not news at this point. Shit sucks man.
5 people dead, and not a mass shooting? Wtf America how many needs to die ?

I agree with this. In fact, there's already been over 30 "mass shootings" in the US this month alone.
Do your research, people.
Also, by blowing up headlines like this article, it just gives more attention to the "black on black" violence crowd. Do better.

It's only a mass shooting if it's from the Mass region of America.

Otherwise it's sparkling murder?
It’s basically terrorism
This is America. Those are amateur numbers and we're all psychopaths.

i think you might be replying to the wrong person? the comment you're replying do at least doesn't say that,
im literally saying your job is real and a thing, in a tounge in cheek "this is our culture, stop being so ignorant" sort of way.
It's a copypasta.
got it, got it. im just... the differences in nomenclature between a serial killer spree shooter mass shooter domestic shooter.....
