We looked at all multiple victim intentional murders. We define “deadliest” as having the most fatalities. In the case of a tie, the one with the most additional injured victims is considered the “deadliest.” We used the Gun Violence Archive as our main research tool to produce this list. If you think there are any mistakes or mass killings that should have made the list, please e-mail us.

During the first five months of 2017: (Key Findings)

White people were extremely under-represented among suspects.

Whites were greatly over-represented as victims compared to the number of white suspects.

Black people were extremely over-represented among suspects.

Among the top twelve deadliest: (There was an eight-way tie for fifth place). The suspects are seven black males, a black female, a white male, a Puerto Rican, an El Salvadoran, and a Hmong. The Puerto Rican has a Mulato appearance and the El Salvadoran has a Mestizo appearance.

Among the next twelve, we still only see one white suspect. The other eleven are nine blacks, a Pakistani, and a Latino. Once we expand the list all the way out to the top 39, we still only get eight white suspects total.

Despite the popular media narrative that “most mass shooters are white males,” we found the exact opposite to be true. White people were dramatically over-represented as victims compared to suspects.

Of the eight white suspects, every single fatality appears to be white. One of the perps reportedly injured a Latino. However, black and immigrant mass killers crossed racial lines often. Many black and immigrant killers targeted white people exclusively.

A Puerto Rican, a Hmong, and Arab all killed white victims exclusively. The Arab killer was at least partially motivated by racial/religious hatred. The Puerto Rican killer was infatuated with Islam and Jihadists. He was also probably insane.

Four of the black killers among the deadliest 39 killed white victims exclusively. At least one was explicitly motivated by racial hatred. Two killed white ex-girlfriends and then started killing other white relatives and/or friends in the same home. Another black male killed one white victim and two Asian victims. Several other black males killed both black and white victims together.

The two numbers in parenthesis are the number of fatalities and the number of injured victims.

Obvious, the raw data paints a vastly different picture than what is commonly portrayed in the entertainment industry, the media, and by left-wing foundations. Just take a look at these outrageous headlines from major media outlets.

Blacks commit spree shootings in extreme disproportion to their share of the population. It may be true that white and Asian spree killers have a higher average number of fatalities.

The only time that blacks drop off the list is when you look at spree shootings, with very high death tolls, over a long period of time.

NPR recently published this list of the twelve deadliest spree killings occurring over a seventy year period. Only one perp is black. However, only six are white. Two are Asians, one Korean and one Vietnamese. One is an Afghan, one is a Palestinian, and one was a Pakistani husband and wife team. So even looking at the deadliest shootings over a seventy year period, white people are still under-represented compared to their percentage of the population.
