The five deadliest shootings in U.S. history have occurred in the last 11 years. The targets are innocent people ranging from very young children in schools to adults in the workplace and at social gatherings. Although the number of incidents has fluctuated each year, overall there is an increasing trend in both active shooter incidents and the casualties they cause.
