    The headline makes it sound like a random mass shooting, but the article says this was a targeted shooting and some of the injuries were not directly related to the shooting:

    A male shooting victim was found dead in a common area, police said. He is believed to have been the target, Ocala Police Chief Mike Balken told reporters during a press briefing.

    A woman also suffered a gunshot wound to her leg, Balken said. She was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

    Other injuries stemming from the incident included chest pains and a broken arm, Balken said.

    Obviously, it should never have gotten that far in the first place, but this is also not an example of someone going on a mass shooting spree. This was someone targeting and killing someone else.

      Thank you. Indeed, a messy hit is not a mass-shooting although it looks like some. For once, it could’ve been ordered by someone else, and therefore persecutors would look into a more complete list of possible perpetrators.
