As per ususal, quoting sources like VOX is like me quoting sean hannity as a source. Do you think there's going to be somewhat of a bias in the reporting? They are quantifying any shooting of 4 people that happened "aroudn the same area, aroudn the same time". Nearly all of those are gang shootings, not mass shootings. Yes there are some bad areas that have black and hispanic gangs that kill eachother, this has been going on for a while. These are not "mass shootings" as people know the term to be properly used.
Here are some of the "school shootings" from that CNN list.

As for School shootings, with conflicting numbers and I imagine a much looser definition of school shooting that we use in other countries
Now you start back peddling when challenged on what actually qualifies as a school shooting. CNN added a student shooting another student with a BB gun as a "school shooting". That is exactly my point.
School shootings are tragic and happen too often. But they are not averaging 1 a week. Unless you are altering the definition of a school shooting from what people generally define it (a deranged student going in and shooting random students) to stuff like a teacher accidentally firing during a firearm safety class. Those are pretty different in most peoples minds. CNN likes to group them together to give more fodder for the anti-gun people on a campaign, like you, to share.
