This is a list of all acts of mass murder and attempts in the United States in 2026. This is something I've been thinking about since late last year but never got to doing since going back and looking for every case would be a nightmare. I'll try to update this list and keep up with it whenever a new incident occurs as some go unnoticed. I'm defining these incidents as when a perpetrator attempts to attack multiple people, and either succeeded or was shot/stopped in some way before inflicting mass casualties. This will include familicides/domestic killings and spree killings. I'm counting attempts as when a perpetrator actively attempted to attack/kill several people, (e.g. fired at least one shot and isn't just suicide by cop) so no plots will be included. Gang shootings will also not be included for obvious reasons. Hope this made sense idk how to explain shit in text. I'll also be writing these as if it were a Wikipedia article for the incident. I'd include sources, but that's too hard so just trust me I guess. This will probably be scuffed as hell.
