Most sources I've seen ([1][2][3]) describe the weapon used as a pistol, and a lot of them are circulating the same image and crediting it to the IDF. If it really was a Kalashnikov, then the source stating that should be listed. Else, I say we change it to 'handgun', 'pistol', or whichever other term people prefer to fit the info that's been published so far.

I used the term "mass shooting" as a neutral descriptor, normally defined as four or more people injured and/or killed. Is it considered synthesis to use the term if it isn't explicitly mentioned in reliable sources, similar to how "massacre" is treated? Nythar (💬-🍀) 10:40, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Nythar: It is synthesis, but more importantly, WP reflects RS, and RS have not used that term. Also, the victims are three, not four, when we exclude the perpetrator. Makeandtoss (talk) 11:54, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Makeandtoss: Some expansive definitions do include perpetrators (see this article's "Definitions" section as an example). I won't contest the removal of "mass shooting" on this article but I've always thought of it as a neutral term that could be used regardless of the terms reliable sources use to describe an event. "Shooting attack" is a pretty rare term that I've honestly never heard before so I would have replaced it with "shooting" if I hadn't used "mass shooting."
