Mass Shooting?

It's completely inaccurate to call this incident a mass shooting. Was a botched bank robbery that ended in a police shootout. No civilians were injured or targeted. 2604:3D08:2C76:9860:D3E:20F:A646:A84 (talk) 22:09, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree completely. An armed standoff between police and suspects should not be considered a mass shooting. Grmagne (talk) 11:27, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This was a bank robbery, a shootout & (depending on which definition is used) a mass shooting as well. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 12:06, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. The definition of a mass shooting needs to be twisted quite a lot to fit this incident. It's just not accurate. 24.222.12.6 (talk) 20:32, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In theory it might fit the definition of a mass shooting, but it seems misleading to use that term when a shootout/bank robbery more accurately define the incident. It may fit the criteria for a mass shooting in terms of casualties, but that would be the only way in which this incident resembles a typical mass shooting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:BE01:EC00:8369:FBEF:846:4588 (talk) 15:47, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wording

This was a SHOOTOUT, not a mass shooting. 209.222.169.167 (talk) 19:55, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

agreed. 24.222.12.6 (talk) 20:07, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Revise article title

It should be titled 2022 Saanich Shootout, or perhaps 2022 Saanich bank robbery. For accuracy sake. 24.222.12.6 (talk) 20:06, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I propose a move to 2022 Saanich Bank Robbery. TangledTelephoneCord (talk) 21:01, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@24.222.12.6 perhaps the title could be the 2022 saanich bank shootout? Truthfully, I have not read the Wikipedia guidelines for naming articles 184.71.108.66 (talk) 18:30, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

weapons

made the weapons more specific, I don't know how to add a citation to the info box but the source is the investigation of the shootout: https://iiobc.ca/app/uploads/sites/472/2022/06/June-28-2022-Saanich-Death-2022-150.pdf 38.34.72.12 (talk) 01:36, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
