The list isn’t complete yet: 1. Late December 2023 Medford, Oregon. Up to 10 dead. Injected with tap water by nurse stealing fentanyl. > **[ONLY ON 5: Sources say 8-9 died at RRMC from drug diversion - KOBI-TV NBC5 /...](https://kobi5.com/news/crime-news/only-on-5-sources-say-8-9-died-at-rrmc-from-drug-diversion-219561/)** > > MEDFORD, Ore. – Sources say several Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center patients are dead and police are now conducting a criminal investigation. NBC5 News broke the story last night (12/29/2023), that police were investigating at least one patient... The hospital isn’t saying anything and the police aren’t saying anything so this hasn’t been confirmed–so it hasn’t hit the national media yet. Or perhaps this doesn’t meet Paul’s definition of a mass killing as they probably didn’t all happen the same day. ---

The article is a mess. It is not clear as to when the killings happened. What the project requires is a series of killings in a “single emotional event.” That is to say I am looking for spree killings, not serial killings. Gosh I hope this list is done. Very depressing. ---
