A mistake on my part. Thank you.

The Commissioner is monitoring the situation in Dinwiddie Virginia and is awaiting more details.
Virginia Beach, VA 11 killed & 6 injured, at the municipal complex by a long time employee.
Now says 12 killed – perhaps they are now counting the shooter (killed by police, which I think should be counted as a suicide, since he was exchanging fire with them).
“Pulled over”? You let a cop pull you over in that situation?
#32 may change as The Commissioner determines more officially the total number killed and if the murderer died by as own hand, as is traditional.

BBC story includes
Presumably that source uses a somewhat lower threshold than the Commissioner.
The story has been obviously updated; that tidbit wasn’t in it originally.
Looks like they use 4 shot, killed or injured. Our commissioner’s thread is on mass killings.
The Commissioner feels no need to keep a list of mass shootings, as other people do that. His list is unique.
A mass shooting list has an obvious agenda. A mass killing list not so much. With this data we can see the relationship of gun-mass-killings to all mass killings. Further, and surprisingly, we can see the large number of automobile crashes that kill four or more people caused by driver error.
This list provides insights not otherwise available.
Professional Engineer, with a BS CivE from Old Dominion. Used a .45 pistol with a suppressor. Assuming he bought the suppressor legitimately, he passed a lengthier background check than that required to purchase a handgun.
Because of two incidents being double-counted, and a new incident in Virginia, here is the corrected list. This will also serve as the midyear report.
Mass killings in the United States, 2019.
Four or more dead (Suicides Indicated by an asterisk)
By a single killer
By any criminal means
