I clicked on Wisconsin and Tennessee with the same search string.

The numbers were different for each state, though I didn’t verify they are accurate.

The Byline for both articles I clicked on were the same. Basically, pushing an agenda nationally via an article by USA Today writers (I won’t call them journalists).

Doesn’t the Giffords group pretty much define a mass shooting as two or more people being shot regardless of any death toll?

It's what big media does. They pick the narrative and the message and spread the "news", basically saying the same thing in every avenue that the media drives. Once they find a message that they want to spread, it's the same every where you look. In this case, obviously trying to paint the picture, "Guns bad, killing people every where".

Not too far off topic

The British press calls the news readers News Presenters.
There is no artificial reference to journalism or journalists.
I have referred to them as News Readers for years now, but that does not really convey how hollow they are.

Today, I realized why I let the CBS Morning Show continue on the TV after the local readings.
When the Gail King Commentary with her 2 Bobble Head Stooges starts, I get to shut the TV off.
It does give me a short moment of satisfaction.

And that is the sadness of a changing world.

Based on that definition, I'm a large enough mammal that it would be a mass shooting if only I got shot.
