Last time I looked at these stats it was misleading because they classified mass shootings as any shooting where more than one person was shot, and as a result most of what was captured was either gang violence or shootings associated with other crimes, i.e. not what you'd intuitively categorize as a mass shooting. Not sure if the methodology has changed.
