I think your chart is wrong. It lists #1 as that 1920s one in the US that killed 44.

Beslan, Russia school massacre. Muslims killed between 350-700. Russian government never gave a 100% reliable body count.

Mebbe not the worst, but two in one day...

1 dead, 1 wounded, 2 detained in shooting near Texas Southern University
Friday, October 9, 2015 - One Texas Southern University student was killed another wounded in a shooting Friday at a student housing complex on the campus in southeast Houston. Classes are canceled Friday. Officials lifted a campus-wide lock down Friday afternoon.

The freshman who was shot to death was "a beautiful young man, trying to get his life together," TSU President John Rudley said Friday afternoon. "I wish he was still here," Rudley said. Police said two of three possible suspects in the shooting have been detained. Officials are still searching for the third. The shooting happened about 11:30 a.m. at the Courtyard Apartments at 3445 Blodgett near Tierwester, according to the Houston Police Department. TSU officials said students who were on campus have been ordered to remain in their classes while staffers have been asked to stay in their offices. About 60 students watched from the complex parking lot Friday after while Houston and TSU police and officials from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated the scene. A metal crime stoppers sign hung on the fence outside of the complex.

Two people were reportedly shot at an apartment on or very near the Texas Southern University campus on Friday, Oct. 9, 2015. Students and staff were put on lockdown as the shooter remained at-large.​

The shooting is the third in recent weeks on or near the TSU campus. While it is unclear if the shootings are related, students said Friday they don't feel safe. "How do you study and watch your back?" said Daijsa Fowls, 19. In the last shooting at TSU, on Tuesday, a person leaving an event at the campus museum was wounded during an argument with another person. The person apparently pulled out a gun and shot the victim, who was rushed to nearby hospital and was alive the following morning. The shooting happened on the campus along Tiger Walk, police said. In another shooting in August — also in the parking lot of the Courtyard, which was the scene of Friday's killing — a man, later identified as 20-year-old Darrius Nichols, fired a gun toward a crowd of people. TSU officials said Alexandra Nicks and LaKeytric Quinn were wounded in the shooting. Quinn was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was listed in critical condition. Nicks was also taken to a hospital and treated for a gunshot wound. Her condition was not released.

Nichols, a sophomore at TSU from Garland, surrendered at the scene and was taken into custody. He has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the case. Rudley said shootings have increased this year as TSU has relaxed rules for on-campus parties and for who can and cannot come on campus -- something he said students had been calling for in recent years. Rudley said the school, which has 32 police officers, needs to increase its police presence and crack down on who is allowed in student housing complexes. But, Rudley said, many of TSU's students come to campus from rough neighborhoods where they learn to carry a gun for self-defense. "I talk to freshmen here who say, 'I have to have a gun to protect myself,'" Rudley said. "We've got this problem. In both instances it was freshmen who where involved and bringing with them what was acceptable in their communities -- and that is to have a gun on you."

Deadly Shooting Reported On Arizona Campus
October 9, 2015 - A fight that broke out between two groups of students at Northern Arizona University’s Flagstaff campus left one person dead and three hospitalized after one of the students opened fire on the others. The shooter has been identified as Steven Jones, an 18-year-old freshman at the school, who has been taken into custody by campus police, according to NAU police chief Greg Fowler.

Colin Brough has been identified by the school as the student who was killed in the incident, and Nicholas Prato, Kyle Zientek and Nicholas Piring were named as the individuals who were shot but are being treated at Flagstaff Medical Center. Brough and the three young men who were injured were all members of the Delta Chi Fraternity, according fraternity rep Justin Sherman. "The alleged gunman, Steven Jones, is not a member of Delta Chi," Sherman said in a statement sent to ABC News. Jones has been charged with one count of first degree murder and three counts of aggravated assault by the Northern Arizona University police department, and he is due to make his initial court appearance and be read his charges this afternoon in Flagstaff Justice Court which is located in the Coconino County Court. Fowler said that the altercation started at 1:20 a.m. when "several of our students, two separate student groups got into a confrontation."

Campus police arrived at the scene and apprehended Jones "without further trouble," Fowler said. It is unclear what sparked the shooting, which took place near Mountain View Hall, a dormitory that houses most of the campus' students involved in Greek organizations. Fowler said that none of the violence happened inside any residence halls. Fowler said that the school's alert messaging was sent out "rather quickly," but a student who was in the audience at the new conference this morning told Fowler that he received the text alert at 2:52 a.m., more than an hour and a half after the shooting. Fowler said that "sometimes it takes us a little bit of time to stabilize the information" but added that the text was "a precautionary measure" as opposed to one telling students to actively take cover.

Fowler noted that the Arizona Board of Regents prohibits students form carrying guns around campus but students are allowed to store them in their cars. The specifics about the handgun in this case were not known. The state school's Flagstaff campus has more than 20,000 students enrolled. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., released the following statement this morning: "My thoughts and prayers are with families of the person who was killed and the three others who were wounded in the horrific shooting on the campus of Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff early this morning. I appreciate the efforts of all state and local law enforcement officials, first-responders and school administrators, and continue to pray for the recovery of the injured, as well as all those in the NAU community who have been impacted by this terrible tragedy."
