Those are not the actual number of school shootings in the way people think of school shootings. 

I'm not the arbiter of what people think and neither are you.  If you are upset that news organizations record verifiable information to a different standard than you'd like, that is your problem, not mine.  I stand by my vetted figure but will gladly change it if a new standard dictates how information is reported.  Call it "18 separate incidents involving unlawful discharge of firearms on the property of education centres in America" if it really means so much to you.  My original context remains unchanged, and everything I've claimed has been independently verified.  

When I side with Aeolus against you—and I am—you ought to re-examine your position.  For one thing, the word "shoot" usually implies a target.  Therefore, it's a stretch IMO to call accidental weapon discharge that hurts nobody a "shooting".  To equate what you are now prepared to call "unlawful discharge of firearms on school property" with "school shooting" is therefore, in my eyes, hopelessly naive at best and intentionally deceptive at worst.  That changes the context.
