Mass shootings are defined as shooting events having four or more victims, and do not include slayings or gang killings which involve the death of multiple family members.

It's no more news that on Sunday, 1st October, 2017, a gunman opened fire on a crowd gathered for a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip, and the death toll had risen to 59 people as at the time of writing this-- which makes the sad event to be the deadliest mass shooting in the United States.

Although, most of the public mass shootings and killing rampages ever recorded actually occurred in the United States of America, but Norway still remains the country with single largest mass shooting in history.

Well, below is a list of the 10 deadliest single-day mass shootings in the world:
