However, mass shootings have also arisen in central and eastern Europe but to date, scholarship has not touched on this important, understudied context. This chapter unveils that there have been 76attempted and completed mass shootings that have arisen across central and eastern European states over the last 30 years. The chapter overviews scholarly findings on mass shootings, defines this phenomenon, and explains the nature underlying it in order to draw out the major gap in knowledge that exists with reference to cases that have occurred in central and eastern Europe.
