That seems like a pretty expansive definition. A "mass shooting" is typically an event where the shooter lacks a primary target: any person within the shooter's line of sight is a target. It puts, for example, a gang - related attack in the same bucket as what happened in Vegas.
It also looks like they're including the terrorist attack in Orlando. I don't think I'd put that in the same bucket.
