Stop letting the media whip you into a state of irrational fear. (not you Bel, I'm speaking generally)

Oh, absolutely.

So, let's readjust, even, and use the 2022 stats.

Four victims the number so far is 249. Of which, two were at schools (24 total school shootings, only two had four or more victims).
If we bump the number up to eight, we have had 26 mass shootings this year, with only one at a school (Uvalde).
If we use the FBI definition, which is four deaths in an event, we have had 12 mass shootings so far, with Uvalde being, again, the only one at a school.

The biggest point of this is to piggy back on SSF's points that these events are rare and shouldn't feed fear. I will also add that the most common theme among the list from the FBI definition: domestic violence.
