No, no US Vice president has ever been assassinated.

The men responsible for killing four Presidents were in effect acting against the individual for some perceived offense or policy. Vice Presidents are often in more dangerous locations, but so far none have become victims.

No US vice-presidents have been assassinated. An attempt was made on Andrew Johnson as part of the Lincoln assassination plot, but the man who was supposed to kill Johnson had second thoughts and did not carry out his mission.

Why are there less former presidents than former vice-presidents?

The reason that there have been four more U. S. Vice Presidents than there have been U. S. Presidents is due to the eleven Presidents who did not have just one Vice President. Four Presidents, Tyler, Fillmore, A. Johnson and Arthur, had no Vice President (a 4-VP shortage). Six Presidents, Madison, Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland, McKinley and Nixon, each had two Vice Presidents (a 6-VP surplus). One President, Franklin Roosevelt, had three Vice Presidents (a 2-VP surplus). Six extra plus two extra minus four short equals four extra.
