America’s Deadliest Mass Shootings

Stephen Paddock's horrific attack on an outdoor music festival in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017, ended with 58 dead and over 500 people injured or wounded — making him America's deadliest mass murderer by a shocking margin. Sadly, that has him leading a list that must be tragically and regularly updated...

OMAR MATEEN murdered 49 people before he was gunned down by police inside the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla., on June 12, 2016. In a bizarre twist, the selfie-loving ISIS terrorist was later revealed to have a closeted gay love life himself!

SEUNG-HUI CHO — known as the Virginia Tech Killer — still has the record for victims in a school shooting after his April 16, 2007, rampage.

ADAM LANZA broke the hearts of the nation with his December 14, 2012, rampage through the Sandy Hook Elementary School.

DEVIN PATRICK KELLEY killed 26 churchgoers at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Tex. — with authorities saying that the outspoken atheist had sent “threatening texts” to his mother-in-law, who often attended services there.

GEORGE HENNARD terrorized Texas on October 16, 1991, when he drove his pickup truck through the wall of a Luby's Cafeteria. The maniac then stepped out of the cab and unloaded his arsenal at the customers and staff, killing 23 victims before taking his own life.

JAMES HUBERTY, like George Hennard, chose his unsuspecting targets at a fast-food restaurant. The killer brought a pump-action shotgun, a handgun, and an Uzi to a McDonald's in San Ysidro, Calif., on July 18, 1984 — where he took the lives of 21 adults and children. He terrorized hostages in the restaurant for another hour before a police sharpshooter took out the maniac.

NIKOLAS CRUZ murdered 17 students and teachers during a 2018 Valentine's Day Massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla — despite the former student having been flagged as a clear threat after multiple police investigations.

CHARLES WHITMAN turned a summer day into a nightmare at the University of Texas after the former Marine climbed the campus' main building — where the Texas Tower Sniper went to the 28th-floor observation deck on August 1, 1966, and fatally shot 16 people.

SYED RIZWAN FAROOK & TASHFEEN MALIK brought ISIS terrorism to the workplace in San Bernardino, Calif. — with the engaged couple attending an office holiday party and opening fire, killing 14 of Farook's coworkers on December 2, 2015. They both later died in a shootout with police.

PAT SHERRILL popularized the term "going postal" on August 20, 1986, when the part-time mailman brought three handguns to work in Edmond, Okla. — killing 14 of his coworkers in just 10 minutes before claiming himself as the final victim.

NIDAL HASAN was a United States Army Medical Corps psychiatrist when he murdered 13 people — and wounded an additional 32 victims — while shooting through the medical facilities of Fort Hood.

Hasan later tried to join ISIS from prison, and is also pursuing a sex change.
