The entire point of that study was to prove that the potential presence of guns act as a potential deterrent. The fact that mass-shootings frequently occur in places where there's a significant armed security presence didn't support that idea, so the author simply only focused on whether or not civilians were allowed to possess guns in those locations.


In any case the point still stands, when you look at the statistics without manipulating them intentionally, the VAST majority of shootings take place in areas where civilian gun ownership is permitted.
