These cases constitute the first sample of mass shootings that has been compiled on these regions of the world. The chapter overviews descriptive statistics on offenders’ age, gender, ethnicity, and on fatality and injury counts as well as weapon usage. It then carries out qualitative inquiry on three case studies of shootings that include the 2015 Czech Uhersky Brod restaurant shooting in which 8 people were killed; the 2018 Kerch Polytechnic College massacre (Crimea) which claimed 21 lives; the 1998 Lithuanian village rampage that claimed 10 lives. The case studies help elucidate both offender level and contextual characteristics and familiarize readers with the different contextual dynamics, cultural characteristics, and social systems in which these shootings took place in.
