Charlie then gets shot in the neck.
His literal last moment is him deflecting the question to a right wing dog whistle

How is that a deflection? Excluding gang violence from mass shootings would change the number dramatically. So how could he give an accurate answer without knowing?
The definition of “mass shooting” varies and can potentially exclude gang violence. Excluding gang violence is often useful since most people don’t care about criminals killing each other (most of gang shootings), and prefer to talking about innocent people who are shot.

“Gang violence” is the dog whistle if you missed it.
