WAPO prints names of every fatal mass shooting victim since 1966: Eleven Hundred Ninety-Six (1,196)

Just think about that for a moment as you look at that graphic. If you have access to WAPO the 12 page special addition insert is really poignant.

1. That number can't be right.

I think the definition of "mass shooting" is either 3 or 4 victims. That's Saturday night in some cities.

2. Here's where you can find definitions/methods

There is no universally accepted definition of a public mass shooting, and this piece defines it narrowly. It looks at the 165 shootings in which four or more people were killed by a lone shooter (two shooters in a few cases). It does not include shootings tied to gang disputes or robberies that went awry, and it does not include domestic shootings that took place exclusively in private homes. A broader definition would yield much higher numbers.

3. You've got two different numbers in your title, one written in text and one numerically.

That has sure distracted me from the rest of your op...

6. Let's print all the names of the victims of opioids..

The medical drug pushers need to be held accountable.

8. Send a suggestion to the WAPO editors. I think it a good one.

9. connected to each one are family and friends who deal with it the rest of their lives

and then there are those who got shot but survived but they deal with the injury.

and this is supposed to be freedom ?
