List of mass shootings in the United States

This is a list of known mass shootings that have occurred in the United States. Mass shootings are incidents involving multiple victims of firearm-related violence. The precise inclusion criteria are disputed, and there is no broadly accepted definition.[1][2]

The Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit research group that tracks shootings and their characteristics in the United States, defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people, excluding the perpetrator(s), are shot in one location at roughly the same time.[3] The Congressional Research Service narrows that definition further, only considering what it defines as "public mass shootings"[2], and only considering victims as those who are killed, excluding any victims who survive. The Washington Post[4] and Mother Jones[5] use similar definitions, with the latter acknowledging that their definition "is a conservative measure of the problem"[5], as many rampages with fewer fatalities occur. Mass Shooting Tracker uses a definition even looser than the Gun Violence Archive's definition: four people shot in one incident regardless of the circumstances.[6]

Larger documentation of mass shootings in the United States has occurred through independent[7] and scholarly studies such as the Stanford University Mass Shootings of American Data Project.[8]

List of mass shootings (2013-present)

There are many definitions for what a mass shooting is:

Mass Shooting Tracker: 4+ shot in one incident, at one location, at roughly the same time.[6]
Gun Violence Archive: 4+ shot in one incident, excluding the perpetrator(s), at one location, at roughly the same time.
Vox: 4+ shot in one incident, excluding the perpetrator(s), at one location, at roughly the same time.[9][10]
USA Today: 4+ shot and killed in one incident, at one location, at roughly the same time (same as the FBI's "mass killing" definition).[11]
Mother Jones: 3+ shot and killed in one incident, excluding the perpetrator(s), at a public place, excluding gang-related killings.[12]
Washington Post: 4+ shot and killed in one incident, excluding the perpetrator(s), at a public place, excluding gang-related killings.

Only incidents considered mass shootings by at least two of the above definitions are listed:
