| K-12 School: In 1998 at Westside Middle School in Jonesboro, Arkansas, an 11-year-old boy asked to be excused from his class. Upon leaving the classroom he pulled a fire alarm and ran outside. As the teachers and students evacuated the building, he and another boy opened fire. They killed five people and wounded 10 others. The boys were caught with a stockpile of firearms, ammunition, and other weapons. | | Institution of Higher Education: Early one morning in 2007, a university student at Virginia Tech started a deadly shooting spree, first killing a female student and a residential advisor in a dormitory building. He then continued his spree about 2½ hours later in a lecture building, where he shot and killed 5 faculty members and 27 students and injured 17. | | House of Worship: One Sunday in 2012, a man with a history of extremist group involvement began a shooting rampage outside a house of worship in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. He then entered the building and continued firing. He ultimately took the lives of six people and injured three others, before killing himself after exchanging gunfire with police officers. |
