Corrections

Tell us what is wrong

This record is assembled from volunteer databases and it contains mistakes. Wrong counts, wrong towns, links that have rotted, one shooting filed twice under two spellings of the same place. If you can see one, say so.

A correction that holds up is worth more than a fix here. The Mass Shooting Tracker is where these records come from, so we pass verified corrections upstream. Fixing it there fixes it for every project reading that database, and it comes back to this site on the next run.

About this record: Mass shooting in Houston, Texas, October 16, 2017

What is wrong

What it should say

A link that shows it

Optional, but a correction with a source can be sent upstream. One without one usually cannot.

Your email

Only used to ask you a follow-up question. Never published, never passed on, never added to a list.

What happens to it

It goes into a queue and a person reads it. Nothing you write appears on the site: corrections change the record, they are not published beside it. If it checks out and you gave a source, it is passed to the Mass Shooting Tracker so the fix reaches everyone using that data, not just this site.
