Anyway that one is highly debatable, at least when it comes to race in the US.

Since 2013, the source defines a mass shooting as any single attack in a public place with three or more fatalities, in line with the definition by the FBI. Before 2013, a mass shooting was defined as any single attack in a public place with four or more fatalities.
...
Between 1982 and March 2023, 73 out of the 141 mass shootings in the United States 73 were carried out by white shooters. By comparison, the perpetrator was African American in 25 mass shootings, and Latino in 11. When calculated as percentages, this amounts to 51 percent, 17 percent, and seven percent respectively.
...
Broadly speaking, the racial distribution of mass shootings mirrors the racial distribution of the U.S. population as a whole. While a superficial comparison of the statistics seems to suggest African American shooters are over-represented and Latino shooters underrepresented, the fact that the shooter’s race is unclear in around nine percent of cases, along with the different time frames over which these statistics are calculated, means no such conclusions should be drawn. Conversely, looking at the mass shootings in the United States by gender clearly demonstrates that the majority of mass shootings are carried out by men.

FBI Vows To Get To The Bottom Of What Christians Did To Provoke Attack
QUANTICO, VA — The nation's top investigative force has pledged a full commitment of its resources to identify, isolate, and destroy whichever Christian beliefs were responsible for the brutal attack at a private Christian school this week.
"Our stated goal is to protect U.S. citizens from foreign and domestic terror threats, such as parents at school board meetings, pro-life demonstrators, and Christians who push innocent trans people toward violence by being mean-heads," said FBI Director Christopher Wray at a mandatory meeting of the full staff of all branches. "I want a halt on all investigations until we figure out what Christians did to deserve being attacked!"
"The evil that sparked this event has yet to be eradicated, but we will hunt it down and end it."
The shooter's manifesto has yet to be released, but prominent media attention has focused on the shooter's victims' sinister Christian faith. FBI personnel are expected to spend the next several months reviewing the historic Christian doctrines that caused the tragic shooting, with plans to roll out more comprehensive tracking of Christians whose improper beliefs trigger attacks on themselves.
At publishing time, the Biden administration announced their plan to prevent further Christian school shootings by banning Christianity altogether.

Doctors Report Startling Rise In Testicular Injuries Among Woman Athletes
NEW YORK, NY — A new study indicates a disturbing trend as testicular injuries in women's sports are increasing at an astounding rate. Researchers are baffled as these statistics have skyrocketed from literally zero reported testicular injuries among female athletes just a few years ago.
"This new wave of testicular injuries to female athletes has really come out of nowhere," said Dr. Ryan Kitchen of Boston College's Institute of Sports Medicine. "Years ago, there were absolutely no reported testicular injuries that occurred during women's sporting events. If only we could determine what led to this sudden rise. Such a puzzle!"
Institutions around the world have also noticed the disturbing trend and are pouring research dollars into discovering the cause, which is almost certainly a complicated issue with no easy or obvious answers whatsoever.

Trump Uses His One Phone Call to Ring Up Ron DeSantis And Yell At Him
NEW YORK, NY — Family, friends, and legal advisors of President Donald Trump were confused after learning Trump used his one phone call to contact Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and berate him from his location in a New York jail.
"Yeah is this Ron DeSanctimonious?" Trump was heard shouting into the phone while wearing his orange jumpsuit. "Wrong Way Ron — that's who you are! I'm sitting here in jail on completely bogus charges, the Democrats are continuing their disgusting witch hunt, and for that, you're going to pay, Ron! You're going to pay BIGLY! Do you think this makes it easier for you to swoop in and take the nomination? You haven't even announced! SAD!"
Trump is facing multiple charges brought by Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg in a case many legal analysts find highly questionable. Though Trump has loudly voiced his opinion that the charges are politically motivated and an attempt to stop his 2024 presidential campaign, he chose to call DeSantis and chew him out rather than consult with his legal team. "This is the most horrible misuse of authority in the history of the country! Many people are saying so! But you know who I'm mad at? You, Ron! Just wait until they give me back my cell phone and I can start Truthing about you again! MAGA!"
Sources within the Governor's office indicated that, while the call was surprising, DeSantis seemed unflustered. "The Governor has more important things to deal with," said the source. "Like traveling around and campaigning without making any announcements."
At publishing time, with his one phone call already used, Trump was reportedly discussing legal strategy with his attorneys via charades-style sign language through his jail cell window.
