Didn't vote as it wasn't the US but i have vivid memories of zig-zag sprinting away from the central courthouse in Milan, in business suit and sensible shoes, after a guy who had managed to smuggle a gun into his bankruptcy hearing started shooting people - leaving four dead iirc. I didn't really know what was going on at the time but the crowd of people being evacuated going from 'this is weird / inconvenient' to 'RUN!' in a fraction of a second when they heard more shots was surreal.

In HS I went to a summer program at the school where this happened and met/befriended several people who were there at the time.

A few years ago when I was working at a hospital the son of a former patient came in and shot/killed one of the Dr's in my department. I had to hide in a office with three colleagues for 45 mins while they said there was an active shooter in the hospital and we had no idea what was going on. It was very scary but that wasn't a mass shooting since he only shot one person?
I don't know how to answer.
