Here's a list of the most prominent attacks on U.S. soil in which one or more people died.
1
San Bernardino Shooting - December 2, 2015
The FBI is investigating Wednesday's massacre by a married couple at a California social services office as an act of terrorism. U.S. citizen Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Pakistani Tashfeen Malik killed 14 people and wounded 21 at a Christmas party held by an agency helping the developmentally disabled in San Bernardino, California, about an hour's drive east of Los Angeles. U.S. media are reporting that Malik pledged allegiance to the Islamic State in a Facebook message apparently posted when the shooting started.

Chattanooga Recruiting Office Shooting - July 16, 2015
A gunmen shot and killed five military service members at military sites in Chattanooga, Tennessee on July 16, 2015. Authorities say Muhammad Abdulazeez acted on his own when he attacked a military recruiting office and a Navy-Marine operations center. It is not yet clear whether he was radicalized, although authorities say they are investigating that possibility. U.S. media reports say he was reading and writing about jihad on the Internet. Abdulazeez, a U.S. citizen who was born in Kuwait, was killed in a gunfight with local police during the attacks.

Fort Hood Shooting - November 5, 2009
U.S. Army psychiatrist Major Nidal Hasan fatally shot 13 people and injured more than 30 others at the Fort Hood military base in Texas on November 5, 2009. Although the government did not label the attack an act of terrorism, many lawmakers at the time did, and a Senate report said the military should have been able to detect his radicalization to violent Islamic extremism. U.S. officials linked Hasan to the American radical Muslim cleric in Yemen Anwar al Awlaki and witnesses say Hasan shouted "God is great" in Arabic just before opening fire. A military jury sentenced him to death in 2013.
