Mass shootings in the United States
Andre medier har rapporteret, at der finder hundredvis af masseskyderier sted i USA i løbet af et enkelt kalenderår, idet de henviser til et crowd-funded website kendt som Shooting Tracker, der definerer et masseskyderi som et skyderi med fire eller flere sårede eller dræbte personer. I december 2015 rapporterede Washington Post, at der indtil videre havde været 355 masseskyderier i USA det år. I august 2015 rapporterede The Washington Post, at USA i gennemsnit havde et masseskyderi om dagen. En tidligere rapport havde angivet, at der alene i 2015 havde været 294 masseskyderier, der havde dræbt eller såret 1 464 mennesker. Shooting Tracker og Mass Shooting Tracker, de to websteder, som medierne har citeret, er blevet kritiseret for at bruge et bredere kriterium - at tælle fire sårede ofre som et masseskyderi - og dermed give meget højere tal.
Mass shootings in the United States
Other media outlets have reported that hundreds of mass shootings take place in the United States in a single calendar year, citing a crowd-funded website known as Shooting Tracker which defines a mass shooting as having four or more people injured or killed. In December 2015, The Washington Post reported that there had been 355 mass shootings in the United States so far that year. In August 2015, The Washington Post reported that the United States was averaging one mass shooting per day. An earlier report had indicated that in 2015 alone, there had been 294 mass shootings that killed or injured 1,464 people. Shooting Tracker and Mass Shooting Tracker, the two sites that the media have been citing, have been criticized for using a broader criteria – counting four victims injured as a mass shooting – thus producing much higher figures.
