Did Eric and Dylan know about past spree shootings and mass murders?

WHAT WE DO KNOW:
Eric wrote about the Heath High School Shooting in English class, Although he got the state wrong, as he said Texas. he mentioned the Oklahoma City Bombing in his journal, I believe he did know about the Waco Siege even though its not a mass murder. As for Dylan I don't know if he too knew about Oklahoma City or if the whole Timothy McVeigh thing was Eric's thing.

Dylan wrote about the Manson Family for English class

Eric and Dylan both mentioned Andrew Golden and Mitchell Johnson in the Basement Tapes, but also getting the state wrong, as Eric says Kentucky. But they also speak lowly of them, calling them "Fucks in camouflage with .22s"

Dylan also said in regards to their upcoming attack: "The most deaths in U.S history!"

So that's why I'm asking, did they know any more shootings and other kinds of attacks? If so please provide EVIDENCE, preferably with a link if possible.

They almost certainly knew of others. They watched the movie Natural Born Killers, which means by association they had some idea of who Ted Bundy and Charles Whitman were (since both were discussed in the film). Dunno if they knew about anyone else besides that though.

Oh yes, They did watch the whole movie which includes the American Maniacs scene with Charles Whitman and Ted Bundy in its intro, so I guess thats 2 other mass killers they knew of

He mentions he hopes there isn't another OJ trial, if that counts. You'd think they knew about Kip Kinkel (unclear whether he's mentioned on the Basement Tapes).

Yes, but they obviously wanted to Copy the Oklahoma City bombing. It was a failed bombing and so they had to improvise.

It wasn‘t mass murder or a spree shooting but Eric mentions the JonBenét Ramsey case somewhere in his writings or on one of the tapes.
