In the wake of the NewZealandShooting, we're revisiting our story about how white men have committed more mass shootings than any other group
The deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history was shocking in its scale — but it wasn't a surprise that it was committed by a white male.
The average age of the shooters was 35, however, making the perpetrator in Las Vegas, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, somewhat of an outlier. It is too early to say if mental illness played a role in Paddock's case, but it has in a number of mass shootings, though it is perhaps too frequently pointed to as the primary cause.James Holmes, for example, had failed out of his PhD program when he opened fire in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado.
But others say it's hard to point to any single factor in terms of why white men have comitted most mass shootings.
