Chapter
1 -
Ordinary
People Going On A Rampage To Kill


Who
would have thought? These are perhaps the very words that played in
the minds of the victims who survived and the witnesses who saw the
crimes committed by people who seem to have no guts to perform mass
killing.

In
this section, you will learn about some of the murders that shook the
afflicted community because the perpetrators seemed to have no bad
bone to be able to carry out multiple murders.

1.
The University of Texas Tower Shooting Disaster

On
the afternoon of August 1, 1966, Charles Whitman, an engineering
student and a former US Marine, went up the observatory deck of the
UT Tower, but his purpose was not to observe, he was there to kill
with abandon.

From
the 28
th
floor,
Whitman drew out his gun and shot three people inside the
observatory. As tragic as it may seem, it wasn’t enough for him
because from his position, he was able to shoot 15 more students on
the ground.

After
an hour and a half, Whitman shot himself while leaving 18 dead bodies
and 30 others who were injured.

What’s
even more terrifying is he killed his wife and his mother in their
home before the incident.

2.
Eric Borel Family Murders and Killing Spree

At
around 6 in the evening, Eric Borel was believed to have a
misunderstanding with his stepfather, but no one thought that it
would lead to a fatal disaster.

Borel
shot his stepfather in the head, and if that was not enough, he got a
hammer and repeatedly pounded him on the head as well. Even his 11
year old stepbrother did not escape the tragedy: while innocently
watching TV, Borel shot him (again, in the head) and just like what
he did to the father, he also hammered him there, this time using a
baseball bat.

What’s
eerie about this event is that Borel seemed calm and collected, going
so far as to clean the mess, wipe the blood, and cover the body with
sheets. But cleaning it wasn’t the end of his insanity.

He
patiently waited for his mother to return home, and as soon as she
opened the door, he shot her as well, but this time not taking the
effort to use a hammer or a baseball bat.

He
just packed a bag full of clothes, money, and weapons, together with
a .22 hunting riffle, which, he later used to kill 12 more people in
the village of Cuers.

Villagers
said they never suspected the rifle because it was the peak of the
hunting season. And guess what? They mentioned that it was what Borel
exactly did: he hunted random people, shot them, and when not
properly done, went back to them to shoot again.

In
the end, he was able to fire 40 shots leaving 15 people dead.

3.
The Xerox Murders

Xerox
is a company in Hawaii, United States, and it was usually peaceful
until the morning of November 2, 1999.

Bryan
Koji Uyasegi, a service technician, went to work as usual, but as
soon as he stepped into the building, he pulled out his gun and shot
his supervisor. He then shot 6 other people. When the 8
th
worker tried to escape, Uyasegi fired
again, fortunately the said worker was able to get out unscathed.

After
the incident, Uyasegi escaped using the company van and was later
found sitting there calmly by the Hawaii Nature Center before he got
arrested.

Uyasegi’s
family mentioned that the murderer was having trouble with his
co-workers, telling them that they were backstabbing him and
harassing him. At one point he was even arrested because he destroyed
an elevator out of anger.

The
management initiated a psychiatric exam for him and just like a
premonition; his interviewer said that he had long since planned the
shooting.

Prior
to the event, Xerox was phasing out the machine that Uyasegi was
accustomed to. He was repeatedly asked to train for the new machines,
but he also repeatedly refused. For this, the management said they
would have no other option but to fire him.

When
asked later why he committed the shooting, Uyasegi just said that; “I
am now giving them reason to fire me.”

4.
The Geneva Country Massacre

It
is normal for people to be resentful to others whom they think have
wronged them, however, it is not normal to go on a killing spree just
for revenge. Such is the case of Michael Kenneth McLendon.

The
shooting attack started in the McLendon residence where Michael
killed his girlfriend, his own mother and their 4 dogs. After that he
even had the tenacity to pack a bag full of weapons.

He
drove by his car and went to his grandparent’s house where he
again killed all the members of the household: his grandparents, aunt
and uncle, as well as his cousin. Still not satisfied, he went to
their neighbors and shot the sheriff’s wife and their toddler
daughter, not to mention a trailer man who was residing in his
grandparent’s property.

In
the end, McLendon did not like the idea of being arrested, so when he
was cornered by the police, he shot himself dead.

After
further investigation, it was found out that the perpetrator left a
list of the people who wronged him. It seemed like he did the
shooting for revenge, but the exact reasons remain a mystery, seeing
that he killed the people who should have been capable of shedding
some light on his behavior.

Chapter
2 - Children Who Killed

Sometimes,
the unthinkable happens.

Children
are supposed to be the epitome of innocence, incapable of violence
and crime. Well, there are instances where kids turn into evil
monsters that crave life, and take it by murdering someone.

1.
Mary Bell

Who
would have thought that a girl short of 1 day into celebrating her
11
th
birthday
was capable of killing another innocent child? Mary Bell strangled a
4 year old boy named Martin Brown on the 25
th
of May 1968.

Police
reported that she had done the killing alone but several days later,
she and her friend Norma Bell (they are not related) broke into a
nursery school and vandalized a wall, claiming the responsibility of
the killing.

However,
police took this as a simple childish prank.

That
was a very grave mistake.

Why?
Because on 31
st
of July, the same year, Mary and Norma
yet again strangled a 3 year old boy, but this time, with much more
violence. After strangling him, Mary returned to the body to carve an
“M” on his chest using a razor, and then she used
scissors to cut his hair and a part of his genitals.

When
police officers announced to Mary Bell that they would arrest her for
two counts of murder, she responded eerily with “That’s
fine by me...”

Bell
was released in 1980 and was granted anonymity (she was given a new
name) so that she would be able to start a new life. The anonymity
was supposed to cease when she turned 18, but when reporters plagued
her and her daughter’s life in 1998, the court granted them
(Bell and her daughter) a lifetime of it.

2.
Eric Smith

Another
murder committed by a child that made national headlines because the
perpetrator was merely 13 years old, and the victim was just 4 years
of age.

Eric
Smith was described by his grandparents as a loner who often wanted
attention. On the summer of August 2, 1993, a recreational camp in
the local park was held and Eric was encouraged to join it because it
would do him good to mingle with others his age.
