Intended and Targeted Victims (version 2.18) [6 pp, 82 Kb]

One way to make sense of school shootings is to examine who the targets were. Though some attacks consisted of indiscriminate violence against anyone in the vicinity, others were partly or completely targeted against specific people. This document lists shooters and notes their targeted victims in five categories: bullies, rivals, family members, girls/women, and school personnel.
