I realize that this is very minor compared to the topic at hand, but I've always heard that it's "in a locality" but "on the side of a locality" (e.g. "on the city's west side"), not "in". (This is not to be confused with "in a neighborhood".) I wouldn't know where to begin looking for a source for this since it's so specific; MOS:GRAMMAR is silent on the topic. However, MOS does say to be consistent, and right now there's a mix of "on" and "in" in the article. I also changed the South Bend July 28 entry to "on" not only for what I initially said but also to be consistent with the ref title, and the change was reverted.

I'm guilty of this myself, but I was mostly just adding these incidents because others were adding them, but I think the majority of these incidents in which one of the casualties is the suspect would not meet the criteria of at least two of the definitions we are using.Raskuly (talk) 01:17, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I don't understand. In the table Definitions of the term "mass shooting" all but one definition says to exclude the perp from the count. Should we also not count the perp as a casualty? WWGB (talk) 10:55, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
