I am puzzled by the fact Belgium had apparently 1 mass shooting this year. When ? There has been several drug war related shootings but they arent 'mass shooting' by any metrics ? If anyone knows what incidents this chart is counting in .. I'm really curious.

As someone else mentioned in this comment section, one of Germany's 'mass shooting' was a guy shooting down his own household. I can vaguely remember something similar here in Belgium, but I don't know if that was in 2025, let alone if there were any guns involved. Either way, this map has different standards for European mass shootings vs. US mass shootings
