List of school massacres by death toll
Updated: 11/6/2025, 12:17:56 AM Wikipedia source
This is a list of school massacres by death toll.
The # symbol indicates the massacre's ranking by number of deaths (since this list is sorted by death toll, not by date or by number of overall casualties). The W column gives a basic description of the weapons used:
F – Firearms and other ranged weapons. This primarily includes rifles and handguns, but also bows and crossbows, grenade launchers, flamethrowers, or slingshots. M – Melee weapons, like knives, swords, spears, machetes, axes, clubs, rods, rocks, or bare hands. O – Any other weapons, such as bombs, hand grenades, Molotov cocktails, poison and poisonous gas, as well as vehicle and arson attacks. A – indicates that fire was the only other weapon used V – indicates that a vehicle was the only other weapon used E – indicates that explosives of any sort were the only other weapon used
