List of rampage killers in the United States
This section of the list of rampage killers contains those cases that occurred in the United States.
This section does not include school massacres; workplace killings; religious, political or racial crimes; or mass murders that took place primarily in a domestic environment, like familicides, which are covered in their own categories. Cases where the primary motive for the murders was to facilitate or cover up another felony, like robbery, are also excluded.
A rampage killer has been defined as follows:
A rampage involves the (attempted) killing of multiple persons at 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
- Rampage killings with at least 4 people killed and least ten victims overall (dead plus injured)
- Rampage killings with at least 2 people killed and least 12 victims overall (dead plus injured)
- An incidence of rampage killing shall not be included in this list if it does not include at least two people killed.
- In all cases the perpetrator is not counted among those killed or injured.
