I hate agreeing with Zeus, but he's right. School shooting may technically be accurate for any shooting that takes place at school, but right or wrong, it's a term that carries implications, regardless.

I agree with most of you that the nuance would be useful for calling those situations school shootings, as the environment of a school is a useful distinction to make, as a specifically safe place for children to learn, as opposed any other random location, but wishing for that nuance doesn't magically make the nuance there, unfortunately. Making a distinction between school shootings and mass school shootings would be good, but wanting it to happen doesn't magically make it so, and ignoring the implications of calling any shooting at a school a school shooting just muddies things and helps no one.
