Mass shootings are, by nebulous definition, carried out where four or more individuals are present and injured by gunfire. Using the same nebulous definition, this effort represents a catalog of civilian-averted mass shooting incidents in which a civilian in legal possession of a firearm has interceded to avert a mass shooting.

Mass shootings are, by nebulous definition, carried out where four or more individuals are present and injured by gunfire. Using the same nebulous definition, we propose the following definition for a Civilian-Averted Mass Shooting (CAMS):

  1. The perpetrator must have been prevented from carrying out a possible mass shooting by a civilian (or off-duty LEO) who was legally in possession of a firearm at the time of intervention.

  2. The incident must have taken place at a locale which would be expected by any reasonable measure to have present four or more possible victims, not including the perpetrator(s). This would include, but not be limited to malls, convenience stores, bars, churches, apartment complexes, or any other venue where four or more people might be expected to be present.

  3. The definition of a CAMS also applies to any location in which 4 or more possible mass shooting victims were present despite the location not being a place where one might expect 4 or more individuals to congregate.

For now, contributions will be moderated until the nebulous definition of a CAMS can be further refined.
