The first number deals with people shot, and the second counts incidents where four or more people died from their injuries. I believe the second number isn’t just gun violence - so stabbings or vehicular homicide are counted - but I’m not sure because the number of mass attacks are far lower when the victim can avoid injury by moving only three feet to one side.
The number of mass shootings, where 4+ people were injured by guns but less than 4 were killed, has been as many as 9 in one day.
I think the number of strictly school shootings is more than 38 this year. Like, a Columbine somewhere, every pay-cheque.
It’s mixing mass shooting with mass killing.
