There are different opinions about what durations of time a killing spree may take place in.

Killer or killers is a multi-player folk variant of straight pool in which each player is assigned a set number of "lives" and takes one shot per inning to attempt to pocket a ball, or else lose a life. Usually if the player scratches then an additional life is lost. It is a popular pub game because it can involve a potentially unlimited number of players, and offers the opportunity for each player to bet a small amount of money for a reasonable return in winner-takes-all. There are often other local subrules such as potting the black, or any two balls in one shot, gives the player an extra life, or that failure to pocket a ball on the break shot does not cost a life. The game is sometimes called killer pool.
