Well I wonder if Paul is going to consider this a mass killing:

At least 15 dead and several others injured after Ford SUV ‘with 27 immigrants crammed inside’ crashes into a gravel truck near the Mexican border in California

The Imperial County Fire Department was called to a ‘mass fatality incident’ just after 6:15am, on Highway 115, in Southern California this morning
A Ford Expedition SUV had been driving westbound on Norrish Road near State Route 115 when it traveled ‘in the direct path’ of a big rig truck
Officials say they believe the vehicle, which has a legal capacity of seven to eight people, was carrying 27 passengers
At least 15 people have died and several more are hurt, officials say
Officials said they believed all of the victims are undocumented migrants
