Looked at school shootings.. apparently China sucks :/
17 for China, although quite a few had only injuries and no deaths. Also their huge population partially explains that...
8 for USA
12 for the rest of the world. 3 of which were Germany with the next highest total.
That is since 2000 again. Bleh.. the top three most deadly were all in the USA too :/
seems like the sample size is way too small to draw any strong conclusions if there really were that few shootings
That is just school shootings. It is the entire world's results since 2000. The sample size is fine.
"This section of the list of rampage killers contains cases that occurred at kindergartens, schools and universities, as well as their affiliated buildings. If the perpetrator was a member of the school staff and the victims primarily his colleagues the case is not included here, but added to the list of workplace killings."
"This list shall contain every case with at least one of the following features:
Mass murder cases with six or more dead (excluding the perpetrator)
Mass murder cases with a double digit number of victims (dead plus injured)
Mass murders by intention with at least a dozen victims (dead plus injured)"
That leaves out everything that was smaller than those numbers and was faculty initiated. The sample size is already too big.
