They want to be infamous. According to the FBI, a spree killer is a person (or more than one person) who commits two or more murders without a cooling-off period, which is what differentiates a spree killer from a serial killer. The difference between a mass murderer and a spree killer is up for debate, but generally a mass murderer commits one act that kills multiple people (like setting off a bomb for example), while a spree killer may kill a number of people in separate incidents and by different methods. Murder always seems like a senseless waste, especially when the motive has nothing to do with the victim and everything to do with the killer’s mental state. Some victims are just at the wrong place at the wrong time, and end up the collateral damage of a spree killer’s secret agenda. Here are 10 of the most deadly spree killers in recent history. 10. James Holmes On July 20th, 2012, James Holmes walked into a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado and started shooting. He killed 12 people and injured 70 others. He was arrested only minutes after his rampage, right outside the theater. He had dyed his hair bright orange and called himself The Joker. He pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but was convicted of 24 counts of first-degree murder, and 140 counts of attempted first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. He was diagnosed with various types of schizophrenic disorders and avoided the death sentence because the jury couldn’t come to a unanimous decision. Navigate using arrows below 9. Mark O. Barton On July 29th, 1999, Mark O. Barton, a daytrader at Momentum Securities walked into his office and opened fire, killing four people. Then he went next door to All-Tech Investment Group and killed five more people. He fled the scene and ended up committing suicide before the police could apprehend him. When his apartment was searched, it was discovered that he’d also murdered his wife and their two children. He was also previously a suspect in the murders of his first wife and her mother, but was never charged. Authorities believe the stress over losing $105,000 in the month prior to the attacks is what triggered Barton’s rampage. 8. Adam Lanza On December 14, 2012, 20-year-old Adam Lanza walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut and shot 20 children and 6 staff members before turning the gun on himself. He also murdered his own mother to start his rampage. Motive for the massacre has never been confirmed and an autopsy of Lanza’s body revealed no drugs or alcohol in his system, and no evidence of a tumor or any other abnormalities in his brain. There was evidence Lanza had done a lot of research on mass shootings prior to his own rampage, but there was no conclusive evidence pointing to why he chose to kill a bunch of innocent children and their teachers.

7. Charles Whitman On August 1, 1966, after killing his wife and mother, Charles Whitman, a former U.S Marine went to the University of Texas at Austin where he was an engineering student. He murdered 14 and wounded 32 more people over a period of 90 minutes before he was shot and killed by a police officer. Before his rampage Whitman wrote a suicide note where he requested an autopsy because he believe there was some biological reason for his urge to kill. He didn’t seem to understand his own reasons for killing his wife and mother, except to spare them of the embarrassment of his actions. An autopsy found a small pecan sized tumor in Whitman’s brain that could have affected his ability to control his emotions and actions. 6. Eric Harris & Dylan Klebold The shooting at Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado on April 20, 1999 was described as the deadliest school shootings in U.S history at the time. Students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold planted a bomb intended to go off in the cafeteria killing hundreds of students, but the bomb failed to detonate. Instead Harris and Klebold entered the school and shot 33 people, killing 13 of them. Then they both committed suicide in the library. There were reports that both Harris and Klebold were bullied and the attack was their revenge. Investigations later determined that Harris was the mastermind and likely a psychopath motivated by sadism and Klebold suffered from depression and was motivated by a desire for revenge.
