Deadliest mass killings of 2017 so far (Jan-July)

The popular media narrative about spree shooters being disproportionately white is a hoax.

We looked at all multiple victim intentional murders for 2017 so far. We define “deadliest” as having the most fatalities. In the case of a tie, the one with the most additional injured victims is considered the “deadliest.” If you think there are any mistakes or mass killings that should have made the list, please e-mail us.

We have now capped the list at incidents with four or more victims and at least three fatalities. This gave us thirty-four incidents. On previous lists, earlier in the year, we included incidents with fewer victims.

Major Findings For 2017 So Far:

  1. Even though blacks only make up 13% of the population, they make up a majority of all suspects in 2017 multiple killings.
  2. While the majority of the victims of black multiple killers are black, they cross racial lines often.
  3. White multiple killers, at least in 2017, have almost exclusively only shot other whites.
  4. The number of white victims has been disproportionately large in 2017 compared to the number of white suspects.

One thing that may be an anomaly for 2017, is the fact that two of the top 17 mass killers are female. One is a black female and one is a black Latina.

Of the thirty-four deadliest American mass killings of 2017, five of the suspects have been white. Two have been Asian. One is a Pakistani. Four have been Latino, though one of those is a Puerto Rican that has a Mulato appearance. Twenty-two of the thirty-four attacks have black suspects.

Eights of the suspects, who made the top thirty-four, killed white people exclusively. This includes all five white suspects, two of the black suspects and one of the Asian (Hmong) suspects. Some suspects killed racially mixed groups.

The two numbers in parenthesis are the number of fatalities and the number of injured victims.

Obvious, the raw data paints a vastly different picture than what is commonly portrayed in the entertainment industry, the media, and by left-wing foundations.

Blacks commit spree shootings in extreme disproportion to their share of the population. It may be true that white and Asian spree killers have a higher average number of fatalities. The only time that blacks drop off the list is when you look at spree shootings, with very high death tolls, over a long period of time.

NPR recently published this list of the twelve deadliest spree killings occurring over a seventy year period. Only one perp is black. However, only six are white. Two are Asians, one Korean and one Vietnamese. One is an Afghan, one is a Palestinian, and one was a Pakistani husband and wife team. So even looking at the deadliest shootings over a seventy year period, white people are still under-represented compared to their percentage of the population.
