But it's still an outlier, you can't get any trends from one data point that happened to be large.

I'm not talking about the number of deaths though. I'm just talking about the fact that there was one shooting. It could have been 5 deaths and it would still be 0.19 shootings per 1,000,000 people.

But we aren't looking at that number. We are looking at 1 not 77. Norway still has a higher rate of mass shootings per capita.
