List of rampage killers (familicides in the United States)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For familicides in Europe, see List of familicides in Europe. For familicides in other countries, see List of familicides.

This is a list of familicides that occurred in the United States. Being part of the list of rampage killers, the latter's terms of inclusion are also applied here.

A rampage killer has been defined as follows:

A rampage involves the (attempted) killing of multiple persons least partly in public space by a single physically present perpetrator using (potentially) deadly weapons in a single event without any cooling-off period.[1]

This list should contain every case with at least one of the following features:

  • Rampage killings with 6 or more dead
  • In all cases the perpetrator is not counted among those killed or injured.

All abbreviations used in the table are explained below.
