	ScienceDaily: Spree killer
		A spree killer is someone who embarks on a murderous rampage.
		The US Bureau of Justice Statistics defines a spree killing as "killings at two or more locations with almost no time break between murders." Serial killers are different in that they have cooling off periods between attacks, while mass murderers typically stick to one location.
		In many countries, the acts of spree killers have been catalysts for lessening the gun rights of private individuals in the gun politics debate, primarily through the the passage of additional laws for gun control.
