So this is the "carnage" that he saw?

May have been posted here elsewhere. Like many I have wondered, with bias, about the increase in mass shooting since we were told about "carnage" in January 2017. But reading about the most recent one in Thousand Oaks in the WSJ, I found this one:

From Las Vegas to Parkland, Fla., Pittsburgh to Santa Fe, Texas, the nation has been shaken by the frequency of mass shootings over the past two years. The Federal Bureau of Investigation says 30 active-shooter incidents in 2017 left in 138 people dead—both the highest totals since the FBI began keeping track in 2000. The FBI defines an active shooter as someone actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area.
