- 28 June 2018 Annapolis MD, 5 killed (shot) (Annapolis shooting: Victims identified; suspect Jarrod Ramos in custody; 5 dead at Maryland office of Capital Gazette – live updates - CBS News)
Events: 28
Killed: 141
As to #27, The Commissioner may have acted rashly. The police caused a high-speed chase. The driver of the SUV lost control, killing seven people. Such an event usually does not qualify for The List. But in this case, the driver survived. The Commissioner assumes he will be charged. As events change so may items on The List.
The Commissioner has awarded the asterisk for the traditional suicide tentatively.

There is a new #12, as an arrest was made in the Fountain Hills case.
- 13 March 2018 Maricopa County AZ, 4 killed (vehicular homicide) (Man arrested in Harrison Twp. charged with 4 pedestrian deaths in Arizona – WHIO TV 7 and WHIO Radio)
Events: 30

This gives us two incidents on 13 March 2018.
A corrected list is available if anyone asks.
There are now charges in the Delray Beach traffic accident. This gives us a new #20.
- 28 April 2018 Delray Beach FL 4 killed (Vehicular Homicide) (Driver huffed mind-altering chemical before crash that killed family of 4, cops say – Sun Sentinel)
Events: 31
Killed: 154
This is sort of pending. At the moment The Commissioner is assuming that the killer killed himself (as so counts toward the total).

Events: 35

Delete my 35 entry: someone can’t count–there are only 3 deaths.
There is some confusion about the Jacksonville incident. The Commissioner admits a pressure to publish. We shall make this entry and hope that we can remove it later.

Back to 34 incidents with 167 dead.
- 31 September 2018 Miami FL 4 killed (vehicular homicide) (Van driver arrested after 4 killed, 2 seriously hurt in crash on I-95)
Events: 35
Killed: 171
This entry corrects the date on #35. We also add #36, a vehicular homicide where the driver was killed. These cases are usually disallowed, but since the fool was driving the wrong way on a highway with no lights, I feel it appropriate to include the incident.

Thank you for posting, PastTense, my goal is that others will help me with this project.
This next part is delicate. The Ohio shooting does not count. This is because the killer did not die in the traditional suicide. He was killed by a policeman. I don’t like saying that. All people count. All deaths count. But one thing this project has taught me is the need for rules. I want the 2018 list to be comparable to the 2013 list.
All in all, this is a dreary project. I feel as though I sit in judgment.
This confused me at first, as you don’t require suicides in the criteria on top. But then I realized that the cops killing the shooter means the shooter only killed 3 people. And you need 4 people killed by a single criminal shooter.
The criteria are in the first post (I think). I need a happier hobby. My other lists are on r/lists.
- 12 September 2018 Bakersfield CA, 6* killed (shot) (Bakersfield shooting: Man kills 5, including wife, before killing self)

Another confused situation. The Hartford County (Maryland) Sheriff has said the shooter killed herself, bringing the count up to four dead.
In non-qualifying events, eight are dead in Arizona in a high-speed crash and seven are shot in Syracuse, New York.
