A Timeline of School Shootings

Transcription

1 A Timeline of School Shootings Compiled by Peter Langman, Ph.D. This is not a complete listing of all incidents of school violence, but rather a chronological list of the attacks contained in the database of The primary focus here is on what were intended to be multi-victim attacks, whether or not multiple people were actually shot. In addition, not all attacks were school shootings. Some perpetrators committed violence with other means than firearms; other attacks did not occur at schools, but were committed by people who had recently been students.
