Oldest/Youngest mass shooters

I've been trying to find information about this online and it seems to be scarce, so this is my Youngest/Oldest list just from memory (both killed just 1):
Dedrick Owens - 6 years old - 2000 (although it could be seen as just a murder it is technically seen as a school shooting)
James Wenneker von Brunn - 88 years old - 2009

I was originally going to make a separate post for this, but found yours and figured I may as well reply to it instead. Here's my list of a few older mass shooters:

Gabriel Wortman (Nova Scotia, Apr 18-19, 2020) - 51 years 9 months
Campo Elias Delgado (Bogota, Colombia, Dec 4, 1986) - 52 years 6 months
Derrick Bird (Cumbria, Jun 2, 2010) - 52 years 6 months
Carl Drega (Colebrook, New Hampshire, Aug 19, 1997) - 62 years 7 months
Kurt Myers (Herkimer County, New York, March 13, 2013) - 64 years
Stephen Paddock (Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, Oct 1, 2017) - 64 years 6 months
William D. Baker (Navistar International plant, Illinois, Feb 5, 2001) - 66 years
Robert Findlay Smith (St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, Alabama, Jun 16, 2022) - 70 years 6 months

I don't doubt that there are plenty of others in the 50-70 range I'm missing, but James von Brunn is probably the oldest person to go on a violent rampage in a public space (even if his attack doesn't count as a mass shooting). Same for Dedrick Owens.

Oldheads out here trippin

Dedrick Owens wouldn't count as he only planned to shoot one person and was simply practicing his kulcha. Youngest shooter with more than 1 victim is Jose Angel Ramos Betts

Claude Sinke is another old racist sh00ta, although he's 4 years younger than von Brunn. Ali Abu Kamal is the oldest shooter motivated by middle eastern conflict i can find. There was also that 68 year old asian shooter whose motive was hating Taiwan a few months ago

Francesco Villi (73 years)
William Malet (69 years)
Gregory Ulrich (67 years)
Vladimir Zhirov (66 years)
Frank James (62 years)
Samuel Cassidy (57 years)

That French Shooter who killed 3 Kurds a few days ago was 69 years old.

Huu Can Tran (72 years)

Not really a mass shooting since he only managed to kill 1 and injure 1 but Johnny Lee Wicks was 66 at the time of the shooting (2010 Las Vegas Courthouse Shooting)

Huu Can Tran was 72 when he killed 10 other people. Pretty impressive for an old ass man.
