2018 Mass Killings in the United States

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
101

Someone on TV said “there have been 14 mass shootings this year,” which seemed absurdly low to me. I see your count is 58.

102

No, that is the total for mass killings. At least 15 of those involved automobiles (or trucks). Mass shootings is more like 36, which is an average of 5.22 victims per incident. According to my count.

103

According to https://www.gunviolencearchive.org

As of this posting (2018):
[ul]
[li]337 mass shootings[/li][li]365 killed[/li][li]1,341 injured[/li][/ul]

104

Here is the draft 2018 list. I would appreciate any comments, especially about my math skills. If we manage to get through the next few days with no additions, I will post the official list on Reddit r/lists when I return to Saudi Arabia on the first. Then I will start on the next list.

Mass killings in the United States.
Four or more dead (including suicides)
