Yeah, this is a horseshit article. They chose to define a mass shooting as an incident where 4 or more people are killed (excluding the shooter) rather than where 4 or more people are shot as they do in your gunviolencearchive.org link. Gunviolencearchive.org current;y has 25 incidents per page and is now onto page 26! It lists 631 mass shootings this year! This is day 338 of 2023 so that is 1.9 mass shootings per day! And it’s not even an exhaustive list. It doesn’t yet include, for example, the two mass killings listed in OP’s article.

I think that’s the definition of a serial killer. They just chose to incorrectly adopt it for mass shooting.
Serial killer is several killings in a row with a change of venue. Mass murder is 4 or more in one place. I’ve actually taken a class on this.
What if all serial killings are made on the same venue, but at different times? Is it a mass serial killing?
Serial killer is at least 3 victims with a month inbetween kills iirc
