New York City appears 3 times

Los Angeles appears 13 times

Chicago appears 48 times

Your analysis is incomplete. Most of the NYC mass shooting locations are specified by borough. An incomplete list for NYC is:

Aug 28, 2015 Brooklyn, NY; Aug 3, 2015 Brooklyn, NY; Aug 2, 2015 Brooklyn, NY; Jul 20, 2015 Bronx, NY; Jun 24, 2015 Manhattan, NY; Jun 15, 2015 Brooklyn, NY; Jun 13, 2015 Bronx, NY; May 4, 2015 Bronx, NY; Apr 27, 2015 Brooklyn, NY; Feb 1, 2015 Manhattan, NY; Jan 24, 2015 Queens, NY; Nov 30, 2014 Brooklyn, NY; Oct 18, 2014 Brooklyn, NY; Sep 19, 2014 Queens, NY; Sep 1, 2014 Brooklyn, NY; Aug 17, 2014 Queens, NY; Jul 28, 2014 New York, NY; ... and I stopped.

I also question the usefulness of listing the 13 matches for "Los Angeles" the city and leaving out the urban area. There were 5 mass shooting in Long Beach, 1 in Santa Monica, 3 in Pomona, etc.

Wow, that is bad on my part. Here's the complete picture:

Brooklyn: 18 Bronx: 3 Manhattan: 3 Queens: 3 New York: 3 Staten Island: 0

Total New York + Boroughs: 27

Los Angeles proper has population 3.8 million while NYC has 8.5 Million. Chicago has 2.7 million.
