Only the first 15 entries are shown here. For the entire list see: List of rampage killers (vehicular homicide) 
This section contains those cases where only vehicles were used to attack people. Since it may be quite difficult to distinguish accidents, or cases of reckless driving from those incidents where the driver, or pilot, had the intention to harm others, only those cases are included where it is clear that the vehicle was applied as a weapon and crashed deliberately into people, other vehicles, or buildings. Also, those cases where a rampage killer used an armed vehicle, such as a tank, or a fighter aircraft, to shoot others are listed here. Airliners and trains are not included in this section but in other incidents. Mass murders committed using grenades
This section lists mass murders where the perpetrator used only hand grenades or comparable explosive devices, like pipe bombs or dynamite sticks, for the attack. As it is sometimes difficult to distinguish cases of grenade attacks from acts of terrorism or gang-related attacks, incidents are only included where there is at least some indication that it was neither committed in the context of a political, ethnic, or religious conflict, nor part of an assault with more than one participating offender. Other incidents

This section contains mass murders by single perpetrators that do not fit into the upper categories, like arson fires, poisonings, bombings, deliberate airliner crashes, and train derailments caused by sabotage. Cases with more than one offender are not included. Annotation
