Instead of "mass shooting" maybe we should label them as "random" shootings.
There have been a lot of family massacres and gang shootouts that are "mass shootings" but when I think of "mass shooting" I generally think of a case where the shooter does not know the victims or does not have specific targets. But then you have the cases of students who have "hit lists".
So maybe the number is not as important as some other element. But I still can't give a good concrete definition.
