On-screen kills by Jack Bauer


 * ''"He said you were a born killer. Is that true?"
 * &mdash; Jonathan Wallace, "Day 2: 12:00am-1:00am"

This is a list of kills made by Jack Bauer that were shown on-screen.

There are a few requirements for a death to be a confirmed kill:
 * 1) Jack must be the one who causes the death.
 * 2) The death must be confirmed with video evidence.
 * 3) Jack must cause death, not just serious injury.
 * 4) The death must have occurred on the TV show; kills from 24 fiction books, comics and games are not included.

There are 273 kills in total. In a few cases, death is not intended; however, unintended and unwanted kills are also included for the sake of completeness.

Not included

 * According to George Mason's summary of the report from agent Karris, Jack killed four other terrorists at the Drazens' base at Dock 11A, but these were not on-screen kills.
 * Joseph Wald's dog - only humans are listed.
 * In "Day 4: 4:00am-5:00am", two men are shooting at Jack and Curtis, and it is heavily implied that Curtis kills one and Jack the other. However, due to the editing of the scene the kill is not confirmed to be Jack's.
