So... four killed during a single event? Doesn't that make it a "mass shooting" according to the FBI's and Everytown's definition?
I expect all the usual platitudes to come out: "No 'good guys with guns' stopped this one," "A woman is five times more likely to be killed in a DV situation if her partner is armed," "Guns turn simple arguments into life-and-death struggles," blah blah blah. I also expect Everytown to see if any of the bullets hit/glanced off/landed/flew over a school, or if there was a day care within two miles ... since that would also make it a "school shooting".
Either way, I'm sure it's somehow the NRA's fault. For arming domestic abusers. Or something.
Oh, but wait... This was one of the "Only Ones" that we should be trusting with guns. Never mind. Move along. Nothing to see here.
