My prompt didn't ask for a list because that's not what you are all claiming.
It did say that most mass shooters don't have an ideology because those are often motivated by non-political issues.
This is what ChatGPT is saying for a more comprehensive list:
Confirmed / Charged Cases with Right-Wing Ideology
Date | Defendant / Victim(s) | What the Charges / Convictions Are | What Ideological Motive / Political Element Is |
---|
May 14, 2022 (but trial actions ongoing into recent years) | Payton Gendron — Buffalo supermarket mass shooter (killed 10 Black people) | He pleaded guilty to state charges (murder, domestic terrorism) and in federal court faces hate crimes & weapons charges.

Sept 2024 | Dallas Erin Humber & Matthew Robert Allison (leaders of Terrorgram) | Indicted on multiple counts including soliciting hate crimes, soliciting murder of federal officials, conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists.

So asked for the same for left wing|:
Short answer:
There’s only one clearly documented U.S. case in the past ~2 years where a killing has been publicly reported with a left-wing (or explicitly “leftist”) political motive — the Charlie Kirk murder (Sept 10, 2025). Beyond that, left-wing–motivated murders in the U.S. are very rare; many politically motivated killings in recent years have been linked to far-right actors instead.

Confirmed / well-documented (last ~2 years)
- Charlie Kirk — Sept 10, 2025
- Victim: Charlie Kirk (conservative activist)
- Accused: Tyler Robinson (22) — charged with aggravated murder; prosecutors say he targeted Kirk for his political views and described evidence (texts, Discord confession, engravings on casings) tying motive to left-leaning / anti-Kirk sentiment. CBS News+1
Cases with mixed / non-clear leftist motive (may be anti-corporate / grievance-driven rather than strictly “left-wing”)
- Brian Thompson (UnitedHealthcare CEO) — Dec 2024 — suspect allegedly expressed anger at the health-insurance industry and “corporate greed.” Authorities described this more as anti-corporate/anti-industry grievance; it’s not clearly classifiable as traditional left-wing political killing. New Lines Magazine+1
Important context & data
- Multiple analyses and datasets show far-right actors account for the vast majority of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in recent years; confirmed left-wing killings are rare. (See reporting/analyses summarizing political-violence data and trends.) The Guardian+1
