Mass shootings: add inputs

Mass Shootings have been a topic of intense discussion in the United States. A public database of mass shootings since 1982 has been made available by the Mother Jones, a non-profit organization. Over the next three exercises, you will build a Shiny app to explore these shootings on an interactive map.

In this exercise, you will add a slider input to filter on fatalities and a date range input to filter on a range of dates. Your app should resemble the image in this screenshot.
