Does the word "killing spree" has the same meaning as "serial killing"?

The meanings of these are very similar! If committed by the same person, then "serial killings" and "killing spree" mean the same thing. They refer to the consecutive (serial) murders committed by one person within a short period of time. Ex: The police are investigating the culprit behind a recent killing spree. Ex: The police held a press conference the recent serial killings.
