This one got little attention outside of Maryland

Guy shot up his work, 3 killed and 3 injured. Then drove to Delaware and shot someone else. 

Mass shooting in terms of the workplace shooting, but it wasn't really reported nationally. 

Check out this website.  It shows every incident where four or more people were injured by firearms this year. 308.

I was reading something else that said it should be defined as an incident where four or more people are killed in a public place, in which case the number this year shrinks from 308 to 10.  

It's sad that we have to debate the circumstances of mass shootings like this to see what the definition is. It's an attempt to sanitize the problem and make it seem like less of an epidemic.
