I didn't do quite as much research for this one, but here's CDC's "leading causes of death" table for 2013.[1]
#1 for 25-34: unintentional injury with 16,209 deaths.
#2 for 25-34: suicide, 6,348 deaths (but if you don't engage in risky behavior, you wouldn't commit suicide, right?)
#3 for 25-34, homicide, 4,236 deaths - the vast majority of these are _not_ in mass-shooting incidents, of course.
#4 is cancer (3,673 deaths) and #5 is heart disease (3,258 deaths).
By the way, for felony homicides, the majority (69.1%) are perpetrated against a single victim[2].
