Wiki has us at 58 mass shootings so far this year. So about usual. Typically the school ones spike before the school year ends and when it gets back in session.

Not school shootings and almost all of those are gang/drug/domestic related. Seriously the first and second one are gang activity.
People think mass shooting/school shooting is a random act of violence. No one thinks mass shooting when two drug dealers are shooting each other.
It's bad enough, but we don't need to drive false narratives.
You're right, I should have clarified that it was mass shootings I listed not school shootings. But I would still consider mass shootings involving gang members to count, as innocent civilians are regularly injured from this.
Yea innocent people do get injured, but that's a whole different set of issues to solve vs school shootings or mass shootings at random.
