{{short description|Wikipedia list article}} {{Use mdy dates|date=August 2019}} {{Map of United States mass shootings}} This is a '''list of the most notable [[mass shootings in the United States]]''' that have occurred since 1920. [[Mass shooting]]s are incidents involving several victims of firearm-related violence. The precise inclusion criteria are disputed, and there is no broadly accepted definition.{{Cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/10/04/the-squishy-definition-of-mass-shooting-complicates-media-coverage/|title=The vague definition of 'mass shooting' complicates media coverage|last=Borchers|first=Callum|date=October 4, 2017|website=Washington Post|language=en|access-date=August 26, 2018|quote=...'mass shooting' is a term without a universally-accepted definition.}}{{Cite web|url=https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R43004.pdf|title=Public Mass Shootings in the United States|last=Bjelopera|first=Jerome|date=March 18, 2013|website=Congressional Research Service|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130909213006/http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R43004.pdf|archive-date=September 9, 2013 |url-status=dead|access-date=August 26, 2018 |quote=There is no broadly agreed-to, specific conceptualization of this issue, so this report uses its own definition for public mass shootings.}} The [[Gun Violence Archive]], a nonprofit research group that tracks shootings and their characteristics in the United States, defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people, excluding the perpetrator(s), are shot in one location at roughly the same time.{{Cite web|url=http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/methodology|title=General Methodology|website=Gun Violence Archive|access-date=August 27, 2018}} The [[Congressional Research Service]] narrows that definition further, only considering what it defines as "public mass shootings", and only considering victims as those who are killed, excluding any victims who survive. ''[[The Washington Post]]'' and [[Mother Jones (magazine)|''Mother Jones'']] use similar definitions, with the latter acknowledging that their definition "is a conservative measure of the problem", as many rampages with fewer fatalities occur.{{Cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/national/mass-shootings-in-america/|title=More than 50 years of U.S. mass shootings: The victims, sites, killers and weapons|last1=Berkowitz|first1=Bonnie|last2=Lu|first2=Denise|date=September 14, 2018|website=Washington Post|language=en|access-date=August 27, 2018|last3=Alcantara|first3=Chris}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/07/mass-shootings-map/|title=A Guide to Mass Shootings in America|last1=Follman|first1=Mark|date=September 20, 2018|work=Mother Jones|access-date=August 26, 2018|last2=Aronsen|first2=Gavin|language=en-US|last3=Pan|first3=Deanna}} The [[Crowdsourcing|crowdsourced]] Mass Shooting Tracker project uses a definition even looser than the Gun Violence Archive's definition: four people shot in one incident regardless of the circumstances.{{Cite web|url=https://www.massshootingtracker.site/about|title= About the Mass Shooting Tracker|website=Mass Shooting Tracker|access-date=April 6, 2020}} Larger documentation of mass shootings in the United States has occurred through independent and scholarly studies such as the [[Stanford University]] Mass Shootings in America Data Project. == Definitions == There are varying definitions of a mass shooting.
