While the FBI study discusses “mass shootings or killings,” its graphs were filled with cases that had nothing to do with mass killings. Of the 160 cases it counted, 32 involved a gun being fired without anyone being killed. Another 35 cases involved a single murder.

It’s hard to see how the FBI can count these incidents, which make up 42 percent of its 160 cases, as “mass killings.” They plainly don’t fit the FBI’s old definition, which required four or more murders, nor even its new one of at least three murders.

And these non-mass shootings, with zero or one person killed, drive much of the purported increase in the number of attacks. If you consider cases where no one or only one person was killed, 50 came in the last seven years of the period the FBI examined and only 17 during the first seven years.

For example, in 2010, the FBI reports that there were 29 of these active shooter cases, but just nine involved more than a single fatality.

The FBI study also ignored 20 out of what should have been a total of 113 cases where at least two people were killed.

Another one. This time the cops gun accidentally drew itself, grabbed the cops hands, aimed itself at the guys neck, shot twice, holstered itself and then forced the cop to lie and try to remove the casing as evidence.

Clearly the cop played no part in this.

FFS!

That could bring up some serious underlying problems in the States - Oregon is actually quite liberal in comparison!

I can't help thinking that's true - it was certainly the first thought in my mind when I initially read of the takeover.
