Has anybody gone to work and not gotten shot? Or to school, or to a concert, and found no gunfire?
How do you figure this shooting is "the new norm"?
Or is it more true that you still have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than to get shot in one of these mass shootings?
We average around 300 people a year being hit by lightning in the US. Your odds are 1 in 1,048,000 per year. average lifespan is about 78 years....so lifetime odds of being hit by lightning are (roughly) 1 in 13,435
So actually your odds of being shot (and killed) are much higher. Assault by gun? 1 in 315. Mass shooting? 1 in 11,125.
Those numbers are....a bit perturbing.
I suspect your odds of being shot and not killed are even higher.
If others were armed...... while she was focused on her target.
It doesn't sound as if she had been a practicing NRA member. Hit 4-5 bystanders.
She could be a New York cop with prowess like that.
