WikiProject Firearms banner unnecessary

edit

@Family27390: Why have you decided to add the WikiProject Firearms banner to this article's talk page? As this article is about a shooting crime, rather than about the specific firearm used in the shooting it would seem to be outside the general scope of WikiProject Firearms, as the criminal use inclusion section talks about the specific gun [model] being notable for use in a crime, when writing an article about that [model of] gun. Just because a gun is used to shoot bullets at people in a crime does not make it notable. This article doesn't even mention that a firearm was used in the shooting, let alone the type of firearm, although I presume one was. Adding the WikiProject Firearms banner would appear to be over-bannering and adding that banner is unnecessary. See WP:PROJSCOPE for guidelines about adding and removing WikiProject banners. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 23:44, 22 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Shot, killed, wounded math

edit

Currently the article states: The shooter shot 11 people, killing four and wounding ten [...]. That math ain't mathing, how do you kill four people and wound ten people but only actually shoot 11 people. And I know people can get wounded in other ways incident to a mass shooting (trampling, debris from shots hitting nearby, etc), but the sentence could really use some clarification on that. —Locke Coletc 14:43, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I corrected it. The number was including the suspect and two officers who were injured in the shootout that took place later. Chomik! (talk?) 14:47, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
