Do we count the shooting at Chabad of Poway as a "mass shooting"?

You didn't ask for my opinion. Generally you disagree with my opinion.

So I answered the question you asked.

It seems you now want my opinion so it will be no surprise that I find such attacks abhorrent and cowardly. I grieve for the killed and wounded and wish we could find a way to live peacefully with each other without allowing religion and politics and personal hate to cause others to want to kill us.

I wanted to be clear. In the past I have had exact statements that didn't "even need to be said" ignored just to create an argument.

Then for clarity I will say if the intent of the shooter is to shoot multiple people even if they fail it is a "mass shooting". Clear enough?

Hopefully I've answered your multiple questions in a way that satisfies you and we can move back to the original question to the board: Does anyone else consider this a "mass shooting"?
