Steven Kazmierczak's shooting at Northern Illinois University was only about six minutes long.
Robert Hawkins shooting was also around six minutes long.
There might be others but the shortest school shooting that I know of with a significant number of casualties was Patrick Purdy's shooting outside of an elementary school in Stockton, California in 1989. It lasted less than five minutes (although I saw one source quote that it was only one minute long and another saying four minutes) with over 30 injured and six people killed, including the shooter.
...
Edit: I would also mention that Thomas Hamilton's attack at Dunblane was around four to five minutes long.
Quote :
Jared Loughner killed 6 people and injured 13 in less than 5 minutes (and I have seen references that suggest he was only shooting for a total of 17 seconds). [Adam Lanza killed 26 people and injured 2 in about 5 minutes.] Dylann Roof killed 9 people and injured 1 in about 6 minutes. James Holmes killed 12 people and injured 70 in about 7 minutes. Seung-Hui Cho killed 30 people and injured 17 in about 10/11 minutes.
And more that were 15 minutes or less. Wade Frankum - 7 dead and 6 injured in about 10 minutes. Jeffrey Weise - 9 dead and 5 injured in about 10 minutes. Howard Unruh - 13 dead and 3 inured in about 12 minutes. George Hennard - 23 dead and 27 injured in about 12 minutes. Patrick Sherrill - 14 dead and 6 injured in about 15 minutes
And very recently there were Arcan Cetin, who killed 5 people in a mall in one minute, and Esteban Santiago-Ruiz, who killed 5 and shot 6 more in an airport in less than one and a half minutes.
I would double check the times here but I think it's generally accurate.

Jesse Osborne's shooting only lasted 12 seconds.

He also killed 2 people at Seascape earlier, and more people on the roads back to Seascape later. The time gap between the first and last people being shot were quite long.
He also ate a meal at Broad arrow cafe after killing the 2 people at seascape, but before the main massacre,

Yeah the massacre from start to finish was long, that is why is said he killed the 20 and injured 12 in the Café in 90 seconds. Even though the massacre continued after the café murders it still only took 90 seconds for the killings in the Café.

Charles Whitman maybe, but I don't think they would of heard of British or even non-American Mass Shootings.

But Martin Bryant would probably laugh at the Columbine 'low score', don't underestimate Bryant.

The shortest attack I know of the the very recent 2021 Hialeah shooting. CCTV available here. The gunmen are out of frame for around 5 seconds (presumably the length of the attack,) but wounded 20 and killed 2.

Brody Gott Edwards at 0 hrs 0 mins and 0 secs, he did this by performing a frame-perfect L-cancel while trying to impress women on the internet and acting like a tool. Truly mindblowing childlike innovation.

Conner Betts ran amok for nine seconds before the pigs gunned him down.

I think everybody knows, but the Greenwood Park Mall lasted 16 seconds, Something curious that I have noticed is that both the Saugus shooting and the Greenwood shooting lasted the same and had the same number of victims.

He could have easily killed 30+ if he had the time. The Gilroy Garlic Shooting ended very quickly as well.

I've thought about this a lot with the Dayton Shooting. Imagine being really drunk and then in a couple of seconds a dude starts blasting. I also can't imagine how it feels to be on coke and drunk as fuck like Connor Betts was, and then shooting up a place. Weird stuff.

Yeah he had alcohol, benzodiapines and cocaine in his system. I always felt like the shooting was super impulsive and he wasn't in his right mind.

Its weird because Patrick Criusius was little bit drunk during shooting which happened day before.

Probably he would still carry out mass shooting some day.

Holy fuck how did he stab them so quick. WTF was this a guy a fucking ninja
