No, its still you. Since there were mass shootings regardless of whatever your personal definition is.
Again notice the quotation marks in my post. I'm not talking about mass shootings, I'm talking about "mass" shootings. This shouldn't be this hard for you to wrap your head around.

What makes a "mass" shooting different from a mass shooting? Does it take place at a Catholic church?

I get anxiety even going out in public here anymore. I've seen countries put travel advisories up for the US due to our political violence and gun violence. It's really sad what's going on in this shit hole country.
Don't you live in the suburbs. Who worries about getting shot in the suburbs

What makes a "mass" shooting different from a mass shooting?

Largely the distinction is formed by how much media attention it gets but that in turn is determined by details of the shooting like the shooter's race, gender, political affiliation, motive(assumed or stated), and the location. Things like the situation in the OP post or a hypothetical event where a stereotypical "disgruntled lone white incel" shot up a showing at that Joker movie (which the media eagerly anticipated happening) would be labeled "mass" shootings while the exact same amount of people being killed or injured by a drive by at barbeque in some lower class neighborhood full of minorities wouldn't be reported on as such, if it really got any coverage at all.

The point I'm trying to make is that the number of people being shot or killed with guns very obviously doesn't matter in the eyes of the general public as much as who is being shot or where they are being shot at or why they are being shot. The "outrage" that flares up around these "mass" shootings while all of the many other mass shootings are ignored is almost as disingenuous as the thoughts and prayers crowd. Obviously there were many mass shootings in 2020, but how many got the same kind of media attention some of them got in years prior? Why was the usually fiercely debated topic of gun control hardly mentioned during the presidential election? It's not because they stopped but because there was something new on the table to make headlines out of everyday and draw people in by playing on their fears and other negative emotions. Now that that issue is starting to be played out it's back to talking about guns and "mass" shootings I guess.

It's all so tiresome.

An arrest has been made.

Police said Wednesday that the shooting was not gang related and that it appeared to have been an unprovoked attack.

Guess whose lick of common sense was wrong again.

The crime rates seem about average for the US, nothing exceptionally high. Transplants are mostly Californians looking for cheap housing I am guessing. Anything under 500k is a bargain to them

I am getting at that your chances of getting shot or even hearing a gun shot in anger is abysmally low. I mean this is not East Saint Louis we are talking about. And the "transients" are a bunch of yuppie Californians, not exactly the golden horde
