Mass Murderers:

The term "mass murder" refers to the killing of several people at the same time. Examples would include shooting several people in the course of a robbery, or setting a crowded nightclub on fire.

http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_murder

Spree Killers:

A spree killer is someone who embarks on a murder "rampage," involving killings at two or more locations with almost no time break between murders." The definition is especially close to that of a serial killer; perhaps, the primary difference between the two is that a serial killer tends to "lure" victims to their death; whereas, a spree killer tends to go "hunting".
