List of attacks related to post-secondary schools

{{Short description|none}}

{{use mdy dates|date=July 2021}}

This is a list of attacks related to postsecondary schools, such as universities or colleges. These are attacks that occurred on school property, faculty or related primarily to school issues or events. A narrow definition of the word attacks is used for this list, excluding warfare, robberies, gang violence, political or police attacks, (as related to protests), accidents, single suicides, and murder-suicides resulting from rejected suitors/spouses. Incidents that involved only staff who work at the school have been classified as belonging at List of workplace killings. It also excludes events where no injuries take place, if an attack is foiled. Each account needs a valid reliable source or it may be deleted.

She briefly entered the class, spoke with the professor, and then left. She then soon returned through a different door, and opened fire after entering, shooting six rounds, then reloading and committing suicide by shooting herself in the head. Two students were killed in the shooting. The shooting was random and not targeted, with no definitive reason having been found. William's family had noticed no strange behaviour in their last interactions with her, although police investigation found evidence she was exhibiting signs of paranoia and losing touch with reality. In the time before the shooting, Williams had also been living out of her car, had given away or sold all of her possessions, and had called a suicide hotline earlier that morning and had said her intention of committing suicide.{{Cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/12/03/the-motives-behind-the-women-who-became-mass-shooters/|title=Tashfeen Malik and the American women who became mass shooters|first=Danielle|last=Paquette|via=www.washingtonpost.com}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.lsureveille.com/baton-rouge-college-shooter-showed-signs-of-paranoia/article_fdef5f47-1055-5062-8ed7-7e20af245a96.html|title=Baton Rouge college shooter showed signs of paranoia|first=Nicholas|last=Persac|website=The Reveille|date=February 12, 2008 }}{{Cite web|url=https://www.foxnews.com/story/woman-kills-2-students-in-louisiana-college-classroom-takes-own-life|title=Woman Kills 2 Students in Louisiana College Classroom, Takes Own Life|date=March 25, 2015|website=Associated Press}}
