> [@Paul\_in\_Qatar](#): > > This list is the tenth of the series. I have usually posted it on Reddit and elsewhere. It is, I think unique and might even be important. I shall update it throughout the year. > > 2017 Mass Killings in USA > 4 or more killed, including suicides > One killer > By any criminal means > In one emotional event I’ve been following such events on [this site](http://www.shootingtracker.com/), which is not quite the same - it’s specifically shootings, includes non-fatal injuries and isn’t limited to one attacker. The criteria are “FOUR or more shot and/or killed in a single event [incident], at the same general time and location, not including the shooter.” By their criteria they’re up to 144 events this year, although many had no fatalities. ---

Yes I post over there with another name. I sort of disagree with the rules they use. I was interested in the number of mass killings carried out by non-gun means. Lo! Behold! There are actually quite a few non-gun mass killings. There are more arsons than you would think. ---
