This article describes a bunch of events where people obtain weapons, plan an attack, and carry out an attack with the intent to kill others, but end up shooting fewer than 4 people. These are not, but probably should be, counted as mass shootings.<p>There have been 294 mass shootings this year - where a mass shooting is 4 people shot in one incident.<p>&gt; But compare him to a post-Columbine shooter like Darion Aguilar, the nineteen-year-old who last year killed two people in a skate shop in a Maryland shopping mall before killing himself.<p>&gt; Aaron Ybarra walked onto the campus of Seattle Pacific University and shot three people, one fatally.<p>294 mass shootings is fucking horrific.  And the number of events where someone planned to kill other people but somehow didn&#x27;t is much larger.
