    Sadly, yes. CNN has actually made some good graphs

    Optimistically this year may end up not quite as deadly as the past couple.

    Edit: looks like they’re counting differently however.

    Edit2: they’re using the Gun Violence Archive number “a nonprofit research group that tracks shootings and their characteristics in the United States, defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people, excluding the perpetrator(s), are shot in one location at roughly the same time”

    While Wikipedia sources from multiple lists (including VGA’s) and a shooting needs to be listed in at least two for inclusion.
