Howard Unruh was the first recorded mass shooting in modern U.S history. On September 6th 1949 the U.S army veteran walked out onto a New Jersey high street, Luger in hand and in just over 20 minutes he had killed 13 people. Men, women, and children would lose their lives that day. Some Unruh had targeted, others were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. But what drove the WWII Veteran to commit such a heinous crime?

Made me think of the word "unruly" which seems to be the English or is it Anglicized equivalent of his name which I would think was German. But that was my end thought, when you named the next door neighbors at the start and one or two other victim's, their names made me think they were Jewish.....were they? He being of German heritage going by his name and having fought in that theater, might he have picked up or already had a resentment of them, maybe having learned a bit about the Nazi ideology while over there.

Howard Unruh methodically listed every perceived insult and affront in his diaries, adding abbreviated notations such as RTS (Retaliate when Time Suitable) and DNDR (Do Not Delay Retaliation). Add to that his obsessive recording of his kills during his military service, and you have a horror story that eclipses most fiction of that genre.

Sounds like he couldn't process what happened to him during the war and then dealing with having to live as a closeted homosexual. The guy was a powder keg waiting to go off.

My father was in the military and actually started my active shooters response training very young, and explained in fact the military was the first to experience these types of issues and was a major concern, it's why not every walks around with a weapon all the time while in the military, only a select few carry a weapon and have access to the weapons locker key. He was a gunners mate and they actually do a lot of anti-terrorism active shooters training and the military has spent millions and millions on research on phycology on understanding-preventing this stuff and try to get people to self diagnose if they are having problems. The amount of stress they can be under is pretty intense and can be taxing even on a sound mind sometimes.

To me, the fact America does NOTHING about it, is insane. Many states have made it easier to acquire them.

The first mass killing seems to be the often forgotten Bath School disaster. Also known as the Bath School massacre, that was a series of violent dynamite blasts perpetrated by Andrew Kehoe on May 18, 1927, in Bath Township, Michigan, United States. The attacks killed 38 elementary schoolchildren and 6 adults, and injured at least 58 other people.

Well, I do believe this was intended as the first mass shooting as we would recognize today. Mass killing dates back to primitive humans. Some being perpetrated by governments, gangs, pirates, churches, and even ordinary town peoples. Some mass killings were political, others religious, some driven by nothing more than mass hysteria. The Massacre of Wounded knee saw US cavalry troops murder 800 unarmed native women and children. But that's far from the first. The Roman's made mass murder a part of their triumphs. And the tradition was cold blooded even by then, yet it had roots dating back to before the invention of writing.

I read about Unruh in a book, Bloodletters and Badmen, with mass murderers and serial killers the likes of which I had never heard of before. Another one was Ernest Ingenito, who didn't kill as many as I thought I remembered, but he went on a very peculiar killing spree against his in-laws.

We now have a bewildering number of different definitions for "mass shooting". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_shooting#Definitions The official law enforcement definition is fairly strict and meant to distinguish mass murders from other types of crime, such as terrorist attacks, drug and gang activity and even intra-family domestic murder. Many of the new media definitions set the bar very low in order to incite fear and thereby advance their authoritarian agenda.

@@drk321 No, because people still kill eachother and firearms are not the only way to do it. Taking the lives away from innocent law abiding people won't help anything, it's the people doing the killing that need to be targeted not the tools they use to do it. So many people are willing to give up their freedom for a minor false sense of security or feeling that they " did something " after a tragedy took place because they just don't understand the cost of freedom or fact that we will never be out of the woods. There will always be a possibility of our freedom being taken away without the 2A which is our first and best line of defense.

​​@@drk321 LOL! When's the last time you saw a gun just laying around... Tell me then, should we take away guns from the military? Should we take them away from the police and SWAT? What is one thing virtually every mass shooting has?: A lack of armed resistance. The only way your delusional theory would work is if every single gun in existence were to disappear. Gun restrictions have already been tried and it failed, there are still mass shootings in countries that have strict gun restrictions. It's time to move on from that outdated theory of yours and try to find another solution that will actually work.

First thanks for the biography. Most crime books don't go into details on the past of killers. However being a researcher of homicidal individuals, the service didn't cause him to become a mass murderer, it only served as a trigger. No pun intended. He was born to murder. His time in the military only inspired him to continue what he most desired. If the service was the catalyst, then we would have prisons overfilled with service men and women.

I think humans have a distinct nature of violence, no doubt based on our evolution and genetic similarity to apes. Many violent offenders are led by the old brain, the archaic barbaric part of the brain much concerned with fight or flight. Indeed this aspect is often triggered by depression, trauma and experiencing hard to process and often horrific events. Psychiatrists spend much of their treatment working to assist patients to think and live in the hypocampus, the upper forward more evolved area of the brain. But the past is strong and genetics sometimes cannot by tamed.
