It's complicated....

It's crazy that PolitiFact said it's "half true" even though it's the number recorded by one of the most reliable organizations keeping track of shootings. It's one more case of them trashing their own truthfulness.
I also thought the story was odd for linking that someone from Wisconsin was shot. Nothing about the 4 Canadians killed? What will it take for the Canadian State Department to label the U.S. as a dangerous destination because of gun violence?

I heard that 4 was the number considered to be a mass shooting and there were 2 less mass shootings than the number of days so far this year.

This is ridiculous.
Times change and updates need to be made.
A mass shooting should be 10 or more. Otherwise we would be having mass shootings every week and that's just not good for my fee fees.

At 4, we're having one virtually every day, not every week.
