Hi Cameron, thanks for your reply. I don’t know how to delete or edit my previous comments but will try now - this is the first time I’ve felt the need to question a Wikipedia post. And whoever told me (somewhat righteously) to check the Wikipedia’s definition of mass shooting - I already had, along with other credible sources. I couldn’t find any clear descriptions, including of definitions of multiple and mass. I used to be a subeditor/news producer and none of the news media I worked for would have called this a mass shooting. The Christchurch mosque shooting, definitely. 49.224.246.43 (talk) 23:02, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi again, I’ve just reread Wikipedia’s definition of mass shootings. Ironically, some US sources say more than 4 deaths, the Australian source says 5 or more. Yet your listing of NZ mass shootings includes one with 2 deaths. 49.224.246.43 (talk) 23:14, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
