August 8, 2019 According to TIME, the data was gathered by the Gun Violence Archive, which defines a mass shooting as "four or more shot and/or killed in a single event [incident>, at the same general time and location not including the shooter."
"We do have a choice as a society. Not a perfect choice. Or a guaranteed solution. But doing nothing in the face of repeated mass murder in our society is indefensible," a statement from TIME reads. "More than 250 mass shootings in the first 220 days of 2019 alone, it’s hard to believe that this doesn’t go without saying.
