School shooting, in the typical case, an event in which a student at an educational institution—an elementary, middle, or high school or a college or university—shoots and injures or kills at least one other student or faculty member on the grounds of that institution. Such incidents usually involve multiple deaths. Rampage school shootings are a type of school shooting where no single or specific individual is targeted by the shooter. Although school shootings occur worldwide, the United States has been the scene of the vast majority of the attacks, especially since the late 20th century.
Although school shootings have a long history in the United States, the 1990s were a pivotal point, with high-profile occurrences in such cities as Pearl, Mississippi (1997); West Paducah, Kentucky (1997); Springfield, Oregon (1998); and Jonesboro, Arkansas (1998). However, it was the shootings at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, in 1999 that brought particular urgency to the issue. In that attack, two students—Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold—killed 13 people before taking their own lives. The shootings garnered massive media attention and sparked a national debate on gun violence. In addition, some schools began taking extra security precautions.
Despite such efforts, school shootings continued, with multiple attacks taking place each year. In 2007 there were about 10 such shootings, the most notable of which occurred at Virginia Tech, where a gunman killed 32 people were killed before killing himself. Later high-profile attacks included the 2012 shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, where 20-year-old Adam Lanza killed 27 people before committing suicide; shortly before the attack he had also killed his mother in their home.
The shooting garnered particular attention due to the age of the victims: 20 of those killed were 6–7 years old. In 2018, a former student of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killed 17 students and staff members. The attacker was arrested and pled guilty. In 2022, an 18-year-old gunman entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, where over the course of an hour he killed 19 students, between the ages of 9 and 11, and two teachers. The gunman was eventually killed by a team of federal law enforcement officers.
