A subreddit centered on the phenomenon of mass murder and the perpetrators who commit them, their motivations, crimes and the psychology of these individuals.
This subreddit is not meant to glorify mass killers, but rather to discuss and attempt to understand their behavior.
A mass killer is defined as one person who kills 3 or more individuals arbitrarily in a contained population at a single point in time. This includes mass shooters, bombers, terrorists, and family annihilators.

Why did Stephen Paddock fire a few single rounds at the start of the shooting?
While watching a video on the las vegas shooting, I noticed that Paddock initially fired a few single shots into the crowd at around 10:05pm. Does anyone know why Paddock fired these few shots instead of firing bursts initially?

Did you guys see this? Joaquin Oliver’s (parkland shooting) parents have launched a game called “The final exam” which is a game about surviving a school shooting.
Link to “game” website
Copy and pasted from article
“Throughout the game, players will encounter data hidden in schoolbooks, boards, and maps, offering information about school shootings in the U.S. Additionally, the game highlights five critical bills aimed at preventing future tragedies:
Assault Weapons Ban Secure Storage - “Ethan’s Law” Ban Of High Capacity Magazines Universal Background Checks For All Gun Sales Raise The Minimum Age to Purchase Players who collect all the bills will have the option to survive and escape, symbolizing a “win” in the game. “The Final Exam” is designed for computer play and will be available for download on Steam starting Friday.
This isn't the first time the Oliver family used stand-out tactics that call out politicians for change. Manuel and Patricia used Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) to place aged-down versions of GOPpoliticians, appearing to hide from a school shooter and fearing for their lives.
By engaging with this game, the Olivers hope to educate the public on the devastating impact of mass shootings and inspire collective action toward gun reform.”

On this day: the 2015 attacks on Paris.
A series of coordinated Islamist terrorist attacks took place on Friday, 13 November 2015 in Paris, France, and the city's northern suburb, Saint-Denis. Beginning at 21:16, three suicide bombers struck outside the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, during an international football match, after failing to gain entry to the stadium. Another group of attackers then fired on crowded cafés and restaurants in Paris, with one of them also detonating an explosive, killing himself in the process. A third group carried out another mass shooting and took hostages at an Eagles of Death Metal concert attended by 1,500 people in the Bataclan theatre, leading to a stand-off with police. The attackers were either shot or detonated suicide vests when police raided the theatre.
