Clicking on the following links will result in leaving the Soft Targets and Crowded Places (ST-CP) website. Soft Targets and Crowded Places (ST-CP) does not create, control, or produce this content, and does not necessarily agree with it or condone it, nor do we disseminate or republish it, and therefore we’re not civilly and/or criminally responsible for the content you access which may be very discouraging, disturbing, and/or offensive, possibly in the extreme.
The degree of documentation per mass shooting incident is generally day and night. In other words, some mass shooting cases have just one accessible PDF report available while others have literally hundreds of assessible PDF reports. One mass shooting case has 840 PDF reports available. In addition, some online case documentation, usually for those with the most PDF reports, also includes extensive audio and/or video files; and/or photos, and other files. Several mass shooting cases include all of the preceding. Whatever is out there, we’ve likely found it, and given you access to it on this website.
Please note that Soft Targets and Crowded Places (ST-CP) by policy does not name perpetrators, however, many links provided here do and, generally, not adhering to their article title/subtitle and webpage/website protocols for this content would be confusing at best or meaningless at worst.
Due diligence has been employed to vet the links displayed, however, our exhaustive efforts are not foolproof. Please independently verify their authenticity.
In order to show you the most relevant results for each category, Soft Targets and Crowded Places (ST-CP) has omitted some entries very similar to those displayed.
Soft Targets and Crowded Places (ST-CP) doesn’t just take content that comes its way. We drill deeply down online into the Internet to find all that it has to offer, which generally is a lot. While our proprietary software is a great hound dog at finding bogus content, it can’t sniff all of it out. That being said, finding, and possibly posting, content that ought not be included on our website is a possibility. That’s where you can help us. If that’s the case, please report it and if justified we’ll remove it.
Categories and links are generally not presented in logical order due to constant updates.
Link suggestions are always welcome.
Please report broken links.
Mass Shooting Definitions: (There is no universal definition for mass shooting. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) doesn’t use the term "mass shooting," and "The FBI does not define mass shooting in any form." In fact, the federal government has never defined mass shooting as a separate category.)
