On 27 April, John T. Earnest violently attacked the Chabad of Poway synagogue in Poway, California, killing an elderly Jewish woman and injuring three others. Earnest had published an anti-Semitic and racist open letter on 8chan /poi/ in which he blamed Jews for "the meticously [sic] planned genocide of the European race" and other ills, and claimed to have been inspired by the perpetrators of the Christchurch mosque shootings and the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting. Earnest attempted to livestream the shooting on Facebook but failed. He also admitted to vandalizing and burning Dar-ul-Arqam Mosque in Escondido, California on 24 March, leaving graffiti that said "For Brenton Tarrant, -t /pol/".

Crusius had announced his terrorist attack on 8chan /pol/ where he published his Collin College notification letter and manifesto, in which he cited a supposed "Hispanic invasion of Texas" and "simply trying to defend my country from cultural and ethnic replacement" as motivations.

Canada

On 20 October 2014, in the 2014 Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu ramming attack, the radicalized Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu citizen Abu Ibrahim AlCanadi[81] ran a soldier down and shot another.[82] Couture-Rouleau was, in the aftermath, shot dead by an officer of the Sûreté du Québec.[83]
On 22 October 2014, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau opened fire at the National War Memorial. One soldier was shot. The suspect ran to the Parliament of Canada.[84] The suspect was then engaged in a shoot out with security and police forces.[85]
On 29 January 2017 in the Quebec City mosque shooting, Alexandre Bissonnette a Political science student at the University of Laval, opened fire in the Islamic Cultural Centre of Quebec City and killed 6 people and injured 19 others.[86]

Australia

On 15 December 2014, a hostage crisis in the Lindt Café in Martin Place, Sydney ended with three deaths, including the suspect Man Haron Monis.[87] There is doubt as to whether or not Monis fit the definition of a lone wolf terrorist. Queensland University of Technology criminologist Associate Professor Mark Lauchs said it was important the siege wasn't elevated to a "terrorist attack" as such. Associate Professor Lauchs said Monis was simply a deranged person running a hostage situation: "This incident was not about religion and neither was it a terrorist attack, but given that perception by the paraphernalia Monis used."[88] The Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said, "[Man Haron Monis] had a long history of violent crime, infatuation with extremism and mental instability. As the siege unfolded yesterday, he sought to cloak his actions with the symbolism of the ISIL death cult." Former counter-terrorism adviser to the White House Richard Clarke said, "I don't think this was a lone wolf terrorist, I don't think this was a terrorist at all, I think this was someone who was committing suicide by police as a lot of people with mental problems do, and now, if they say they're a terrorist, if they say they're somehow associated with ISIS or Al Qaeda, it becomes a major event that shuts down the city and gets international attention. This was a person with a mental problem who tried to gain attention and succeeded, tried to shut down the city and succeeded, merely by putting up a flag that was something like the flag of ISIS."[89]

New Zealand

On 15 March 2019, Brenton Harrison Tarrant, a self-described "Ethno-nationalist, Eco-fascist" "Kebab removalist" "racist", committed two consecutive terrorist attacks at Al Noor Mosque and Linwood Islamic Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand, killing 51 people and injuring 49 others. Tarrant had announced the attacks on social media outlets Facebook and Twitter, sharing links to his manifesto The Great Replacement, named after the French far-right white genocide theory of the same name by writer Renaud Camus. He also announced his attacks on 8chan /pol/. Tarrant livestreamed the first 17 minutes of the attacks on Facebook Live.
