    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 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.
