Racist Fact #14: Most mass shooters are white males... Right?
Mass Shooting is defined as any incident where 4 or more people are injured or killed excluding the perpetrator. This is the most common definition used by many media outlets.
*White also includes Arab/Middle Eastern and Turks.

Common misconceptions
- Most mass shooters are white! Even if we used the federal statutes definition for a "mass killing" (3 or more killings in a single incident) that would still be untrue!
