Does this even classify as a mass shooting? I believe Rand Paul said if the police officer didn't shoot at the gunman, it would be a mass shooting...

Nope, he said:

Which means that there would've been nothing between them and Hodginkson to prevent Hodginkson from killing everyone there without the police. The agents were able to help everyone keep cover until the city and state police came and killed Hodginkson 

I heard it on the news earlier today as it was happening...word for word. Even if I heard it wrong it still isn't a mass shooting as 4 people weren't killed. Time to move on.

Actually...
