(CNN) — When eight people died in a mass shooting at an Indianapolis FedEx facility Thursday night, the news was compounded by a string of similar incidents that preceded it.

Starting on March 16, when eight people were killed at three Atlanta-area spas, the US has had at least 45 mass shootings, according to CNN reporting and an analysis of data from the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), local media, and police reports.

The US has seen at least 147 mass shootings in 2021, according to data from the GVA, a non-profit based in Washington.

CNN considers an incident to be a mass shooting if four or more people are shot, wounded, or killed, excluding the gunman; so does the GVA.

Here are the 45 incidents reported since March 16.

2. Just saw on CNN another shooting at a mall

I missed where and they don't have a lot of details yet. They are reported as a passing piece on the news.

4. I repeat the question over and over . . .

What is wrong with us?

6. Republicans.

That's what's wrong with us.

5. Here's a possible Republican solution

Change the definition of mass shooting from four dead to, say, 6 dead. That will reduce the number of mass shootings immediately.
