Twenty deadliest spree shootings of 2017 so far
Take a look at the recent headlines above. There is a large effort to claim that spree shooters are mostly white males, or that white male are greatly over-represented among spree shooters. This is a complete inversion of reality. The truth is the exact opposite.
It is probably true that the average White or Asian spree shooters averages a higher number of fatalities than the average black spree shooter. However, blacks commit spree shooting in vast disproportion to whites, Asians, or Latinos. It is only when you take the deadliest spree killings over a period of decades that blacks drop off the list. However, even then, white people are still under-represented.
NPR recently published this list of the twelve deadliest spree killings occurring over a seventy year period. Only one perp is black. However, only six are white. Two are Asians, one Korean and one Vietnamese. One is an Afghan, one is a Palestinian, and one was a Pakistani husband and wife team. So even looking at the deadliest shootings over a seventy year period, white people are still under-represented compared to their percentage of the population.
Between 1/1/17 and 3/24/17:
White people were extremely under-represented among spree shooters.
Whites were far more likely to be victims than perpetrators.
Black people were greatly over-represented among spree shooters.
This list is literally ordered by most fatalities. In the case of a tie, the one with the most additional gunshot victims is considered to be worse. We used the Gun Violence Archive to do this research. If you feel a killing should have made this list, but is missing, please e-mail us.
There is a four-way tie for 17th place, giving us an even twenty spree killings. There are no more incidents with two fatalities and two wounded. We decided to publish at an even twenty. We will publish an update in approximately a month from now.

Note: The following Chicago shooting has been reported as three victim fatalities in many media articles. However, as best we can tell one of those fatalities was the co-perp and one of the victims shot him in self-defense. This shooting is not included in the twenty deadliest.
(2, 1) February 15th, Chicago, IL. Two black males shot three people in a Chicago apartment. Two Latinos were killed. A third unidentified person was wounded. The victims managed to fire back killing one of the perps and injuring the other. Chicago police say the black males went to the apartment to steal their marijuana.
Obvious, the raw data paints a vastly different picture than what is widely depicted by left-wing foundations, left-leaning media outlets, Hollywood movies, and television.
If we just went by highest number of people shot, the list would be 70%-80% black. There are a huge number of black spree shootings with more than four victims, but no fatalities. For example, a black male opened fire at a Brownsville, TN homecoming party. Some media reports claim ten people (accounts vary) were shot, but no one died. On January 1st, in Miami, Fl, there were seven people shot in a black on black drive-by with no fatalities. Then on January 16th, there was a black on black shooting in Martin Luther King Jr Park in Miami, FL with eight shot. No one died, however the man arrested was also a suspect in a previous spree shooting but never prosecuted!
Blacks commit spree shootings in extreme disproportion to their share of the population. This holds true whether you look at highest number of victims or highest number of fatalities.
