August 8, 1988 - Jeff Weise

On March 21, 2005, a school shooting occurred at the Red Lake Indian Reservation in Red Lake, Minnesota, United States. That afternoon at 2:00 p.m., 16-year-old Jeffrey Weise killed his grandfather (an Ojibwe tribal police sergeant) and his grandfather's girlfriend at their lakeside home.

Weise shot and killed seven people at the school and wounded at least nine others. The dead included an unarmed security guard at the entrance of the school, a teacher, and five students. After the police arrived, Weise exchanged gunfire with them. After being wounded, he committed suicide inside of a classroom. At the time it was the deadliest school shooting in the United States since the Columbine High School massacre but was eventually surpassed by the Virginia Tech Shooting in 2007.
