Death toll was 200 - most ended with no fatalities but several wounded.hedge wrote:"I did Wiki searches of mass shootings, mass stabbings, mass bludgeonings and mass strangulations."
Mass bludgeonings? Mass strangulations??
"There have been 138 mass shootings in the USA this year, with 200 killed."
Well, if 50 were killed in Orlando, that leaves 137 mass shootings with 150 people killed. That's basically one death per mass shooting. I'm sure I remember several where far more than one person was killed, which would leave the rest with well below one person (on average) killed per mass shooting event. Somehow this isn't adding up...
For instance, on Saturday in Webster, MN there was a shooting with 0 dead and 4 wounded.
Same day 1 dead and 3+ wounded in Stockton
Same day 3 dead and 2 wounded in Los Angeles suburb (murder/suicide)
Same day in Roswell, NM, 5 dead 0 wounded in murder/suicide (FBI denies ET involvement)
Same day in Charlotte, NC, 1 dead and 3 wounded.
So on June 11, there were 5 mass shootings with 10 dead and 12 wounded.
On June 5-9, there were 8 mass shootings with 6 dead and 31 wounded.
