I have a question.

When someone shoots someone in self defense, is that classed as a criminal shooting? as in would it count towards the number of "shootings", if not then would it not be fairly reasonable to assume that the number of murders/shootings dropped because the number of claims of self defense rose?

Only if the shooting is backed up as self defense.  

Which is actually a VERY hard case to win most of the time.
