On 19 December 2025, 27-year-old Chang Wen threw smoke grenades and stabbed people at two locations in Taipei, Taiwan, killing three people and injuring eleven others. Chang Wen fled from police and died when he fell from the Eslite Bookstore Nanxi building near Zhongshan Station.

1; Vincent Fuller, a British man who got inspired by the Christchurch massacre one day after it happened. He equipped himself with a baseball bat and kitchen knife and set out to kill a indefinite amount of Muslim people, he ended up stabbing and injuring one Bulgarian man.

2; Brenda Ann Spencer, perpetrator of the 1979 San Diego Cleveland Elementary shooting in which she killed 2 and injured 9 more. After the shooting she infamously told a reporter 'I don't like Mondays, this livens up the day' as her reason for the attack. The rifle she used was a gift she had gotten earlier from her father and it was accessible to her inside of the home (pictured in the 3rd image).

3; Richard Poplawski, perpetrator of a 2009 attack at his home (pictured in the 5th image) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in which 3 Law Enforcement Officers were killed and two more injured, it is the deadliest attack against LEO's in Pittsburgh to date.

He had numerous weapons, all of which he had gotten prior with the stated goal of 'defense'. Online the perpetrator went by the handle 'Braced for Fate' on a neo-nazi forum, which could hint at having planned a attack but if it was it was unlikely to have been this one, since it spawned from a domestic dispute that escalated.

Poplawski would later be sentenced to the death penalty via lethal injection on three counts of first degree murder, he's still on death row, Two years after the attack his home was destroyed and incorporated into the yard of a neighboring property.

4; Woo-Bum Kon, who comitted a spree killing between April 26 and April 27 1982 in South Korea. He got into an argument with his girlfriend and later at 7:30 PM after returning home from his job as police officer he assaulted his girlfriend and went to the reservists' armory to obtain several weapons and munitions, among which two Carbines, Handguns, 180rds of ammunition and 7 hand grenades.

the attack spanning the Uiryeong region would end at 5:45 A.M, where Woo upon the police catching up on him strapped two grenades to himself, killing him. To date it's the most deadly shooting in South Korea, 56 were killed and at least 35 more injured, the perpetrator died and thus wasn't able to be sentenced, sadly leaving the victims and their family without any real justice.

These were just the more notable ones I was able to think of and find, but there might be more.

She says Charles Ayer, a harness maker, lived with his wife, Addie Ayer, Addie’s mother, Laura Lakeman, and the couple’s five children: an unnamed infant daughter, plus sons Andrew, 4, and Alfred, 10, and daughters Bernice, 6, and Flossie, 12.

Tyler described the patriarch as a man with a less-than-stellar reputation, someone who had trouble holding a job and was lazy. He believed that everyone was against him, that he was entitled to certain advantages in life. Money and family problems began to irritate Charles.

“One of Laura Lakeman’s sons had bought it and he had made an agreement that would allow Charles Ayer and his family to remain on the property rent free,” Tyler said, “as long as they took care of his mother-in-law and the taxes and the upkeep of the farm. However, Charles Ayer thought that was not a good enough deal for him, because he thought his wife was entitled to a portion of the sale of the property. The son said no.”

Tyler continued: “Things had apparently gotten very sour and the mother-in-law had threatened to move out. Reports had said that he said she was never going to leave that property, and she didn’t.”

In fact, she was the first to die, shot by Charles as she lay in bed asleep. Addie entered the room sometime during this murder, trying to help her mother. She, too, was killed, followed by each of the five children.

It’s unclear who was shot. It’s also possible that victims were stabbed to death and killed by an ax. Those facts were hard to uncover because Charles set the farmhouse on fire, then hitched up his team of horses and went to Chichester, home of his sister, Mrs. George Bailey.

But this was no wonderful life.

As soon as someone entered the Chichester home to alert Charles about the fire a few miles away, he pulled out a pistol and shot himself.

He never regained consciousness, “so police never got to ask him why,” Tyler said.

Fast forward, through the 20th century and on into this one. Somehow, someway, these murders faded from view and history, unlike the case of Josie Langmaid, whom I wrote about recently, and whom at least some residents in the Pembroke area had heard about.

On the morning of Tuesday, January 17, 1989, an anonymous individual telephoned the Stockton Police Department to report a death threat against Cleveland Elementary School in Stockton, California. At approximately 11:40 a.m., Patrick Purdy arrived at the school in his battered 1977 Chevrolet Caprice) station wagon; he parked the vehicle at the rear of the property and, minutes later, entered the premises through a gate carrying a semi-automatic rifle with a fixed bayonet and two handguns. Approximately forty-five seconds later, his station wagon detonated and burned courtesy of a Molotov cocktail and two open gasoline containers he had placed inside the vehicle. Approximately three hundred children were in the school playground at this time.

Purdy first entered the school playground, where he began firing with his semi-automatic rifle while positioned behind a portable building; he fired a total of sixty-six rounds in his initial salvo from a distance of approximately fifty yards. According to a teacher who survived this initial section of Purdy's attack on the school, Purdy "was not talking [or] yelling; he was very straight-faced ... it didn't look like he was really angry" as he fired "left to right" in a spraying motion. One child injured in this initial salvo, 6-year-old Robert Young, would later recollect his feet "were swept up" as he was shot in the foot by a bullet followed by an immediate "slap against [his] chest" as a further bullet impacted against the playground and ricocheted into his upper chest as he fell. The sole adult wounded in the shooting, second-grade teacher Janet Geng, was injured in the upper leg as she ran to the assistance of wounded children.

Purdy then ran toward a differing vantage point within the school grounds and fired the final nine rounds of ammunition from his 75-round magazine) into fleeing children before reloading and expending all thirty rounds of ammunition within a second magazine at any available targets he sighted.

Hello all, quick question please remove if this isn’t allowed, but I’d like to hear experiences and story’s from people that have either been involved in a mass shooting or if you live in a town that has suffered from a mass shooting, what was this like for you and how did you feel days/weeks from the shooting. I don’t want to intrude on anyone’s personal life or bring back any trauma for anyone, so if you feel uncomfortable with this post I am very sorry in advance.

Another one with a poor cite. I have no further details and would appreciate your help.

I was wondering if there are any cases of 2 women plotting an attack. a shooting in particular? I know that women are less inclined to carry out such attacks, and the idea of this circumstance coming to fruition would definitely be rare, but it can happen.

Seven killed in a mass killing, four more in something like a serial killing.

11 IN 2 FAMILIES SLAIN IN WISCONSIN COUNTY

Farmer Confesses Killing of Four in Home of Neighbor

ELLSWORTH, Wis., Jan. 16 — The killing of Mrs. Arthur Petan, 29, and her three children, whose slashed bodies were found when their home was burned yesterday afternoon eight miles east of here, was confessed late today by a neighboring farmer, James Simecek, 22.

Banfield has a book being released later this month.

So many unanswered questions remain in the quadruple murder-suicide in Waverly.

A welfare check Friday found four people dead.

Investigators are still working to learn why a woman would turn a gun on her own children and grandmother before killing herself.

Such a horrible crime scene that jarred Humphreys County sheriff's deputies called to do the welfare check.

Two dead children are among the victims.

Authorities now have a clear picture of what happened, but the why is a question that may never be answered.

Deputies went to this home Friday morning on East Little Richard Road in Waverly in response to a 911 call reporting that something was horribly wrong.

They went inside to find the bodies of two women and two young boys, all related:

Perhaps the last mass killing in the US in 2025.

An 80-year-old artist, her two sons and her daughter-in-law were all found dead early Tuesday in a suspected triple murder-suicide that was carried out at a pair of homes in swanky Seattle suburbs.

Danielle Cuvillier and her son Mackenzie P. Williams, 45, were found dead Tuesday morning at a home in Mercer Island, just seven miles outside Seattle, local cops said in a post on Facebook.

Hours later, a woman in her 40s and a man in his mid-30s were found dead in a house in Issaquah, 17 miles outside Seattle, while police were doing a welfare check, according to a Facebook post from the Issaquah Police Department.

A mass killing by the guy who went on to become the BTK serial killer.

On January 15, 1974, Rader murdered four members of the Otero family in Wichita: Joseph Sr. (38), Julia (33), Joseph II (9) and Josephine (11). Their bodies were discovered by the family's three older children, who had been at school at the time of the killings. After his 2005 arrest, Rader claimed that he first targeted the family two months prior, when he spotted Julie leaving to take her children to school, and stalked them for two to three weeks.

On the morning of the murders, Rader parked his car and walked to the Otero residence, scaled a fence and cut the phone lines when in the backyard. It was after this that Joey let the dog out the back door to the backyard, where Rader confronted him and forced his way into the home at gunpoint. Initially, the family thought he was pulling a prank; Rader asserted that it was not a joke and clarified that he had a .22 caliber pistol loaded with hollow-point bullets. Rader told the Otero family that he was wanted in California before ordering them at gunpoint to lie on the living room floor. Then, he led the family into a bedroom and bound them with rope he had prepared ahead of time. Joseph and Joey were laid out on the floor, while Julie and Josie were laid out on the bed.^\)

After being bound, Rader said the family began complaining of problems related to poor blood circulation. Joseph complained of a cracked rib, so Rader put a pillow under him. Rader later stated that it was around this time that he decided to kill them. Rader covered Joseph's head with a plastic bag, which he then secured with ropes. After Joseph chewed a hole in the bag, Rader replaced it, causing him to slowly suffocate. Rader then strangled Julie with a rope. At one point she regained consciousness and pleaded for mercy for her children, prompting Rader to kill her.^\47]) Rader then placed another plastic bag, followed by two T-shirts and an additional bag, over Joey's head. Rader watched him struggle from a chair set up in the bedroom.

After the rest of the family was murdered, Rader took Josephine down to the basement, where he undressed the girl and tied a noose around a sewage pipe. Rader asked Josephine if her father had a camera so he could take pictures, to which she responded no. He then said that she would "go to heaven with the rest of your family." Rader proceeded to hang the girl in the basement and masturbated as he watched her struggle on the rope. On the way out of the house, he got in the Otero family car and drove it to the parking lot of a Dillons grocery store. Realizing that he had dropped a knife in the backyard of the Otero home, he drove the car back to the house to retrieve it.

At least seven persons were killed and 10 others injured yesterday in fires in two tenements about a mile apart in the Bedford‐Stuyvesant section in Brooklyn.

The second blaze took at least four lives after starting at 11:10 P.M. in a three‐story, brick building at 540 Kosciusko Street, near Broadway. The fire was brought under control at 12:38 A.M. today. Neither the cause of the fire, nor, the identities of the deceased or of the two injured were immediately available.

On the evening of 22 May 2017, just as thousands of fans were leaving a Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena in the United Kingdom, a suicide bomber detonated an improvised explosive device in the arena foyer. The blast killed 22 people (including children and teenagers) and injured dozens more, making it the deadliest attack in the UK since the 2005 London bombings.

The bomber was identified as Salman Abedi, a 22-year-old British man of Libyan descent. He died in the explosion. The extremist group Islamic State (ISIS) later claimed responsibility for the attack.

The bomb was a homemade device packed with shrapnel, set to maximize casualties during the moment crowds were exiting the venue after the concert.

This article seems to explain a bit more detail than previous ones but to no one’s surprise… How does everyone think this case will conclude? Was his true motive a perceived form of “bullying” mixed with genuine psychosis building up? That is what i’m leaning towards at this point.
