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

If it makes everyone feel better we could just come up with a different label like "random shooter incidents".

I'm think we need a way to have a baseline so we can actually say how many of these events occur instead of one side or the other arguing that this or that one "doesn't count".  Same argument we had about "terroristic" acts when some will use the Homeland Security definition and some want to apply a dictionary definition and some just have a feeling about what is terror and what is not.
