      Right, but. In the article they state

      “A series of murders over the weekend have propelled the United States to a grisly new record: the most recorded mass shootings in a year”

      Including the stabbing which they then refer to as a mass killing. I’m not arguing the point of the article. Its just misleading.

        Two attacks on Sunday occurring within a couple of hours of each other in Texas and Washington state were the year’s 37th and 38th mass shootings.

        The stabbing is separate and unrelated.

        It’s slightly confusing but is explained in the article that all mass shooting are mass killings but not all mass killings are shootings, which of course makes sense.
