Notable crimes at notable monuments/ public locations

Greetings,

Wish to know about instances of coverage of Notable crimes at notable monuments/ public locations related Wikipedia articles.

This year in two notable monuments/ public locations articles I happened to include instances of Mass sexual assault; first was older instance from 1960s @ Rabindra Sarobar Stadium and second one most recent Minar-e-Pakistan

But then a question arises how much any notable event or notable crime is relevant to the article about notable monuments/ public locations.

If we have any instances of such coverage of coverage of Notable crimes at notable monuments/ public locations related Wikipedia articles is likely to help the next level discussion (wish to involve Women related WP project talk desks). So please do help citing such instances.

Thanks and warm regards

Just this past year we had the 2021 United States Capitol attack. That's a notable crime at a major public monument. --Jayron 32 17:44, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If we're including terrorist attacks there are many, e.g. Brighton hotel bombing and Hyde Park and Regent's Park bombings, plus 9/11 of course. --Viennese Waltz 19:02, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also 2017 London Bridge attack and 2017 Westminster attack. Alansplodge (talk) 10:48, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose there would be more instances like terror in schools in U.S., Russia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nigeria. 26/11 places in Mumbai India. Then Taharrush @ Tahrir Square. I think list can increase. Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' (talk) 17:37, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
