On the morning of May 18th, 1927, Andrew Kehoe murdered his wife and set his farm on fire. Meanwhile, at the Bath Consolidated School, he rigged explosives to go off at about the same time. He then drove to the school, parked his truck out front and detonated a bomb in his truck killing himself as well as other people surrounding it. After it was all said and done, he killed 38 students and 6 adults, with the students ranging from 2nd grade to 6th grade. To this day, it remains the deadliest school massacre in United States history.

On July 18th 1984, James Huberty went to his local McDonald's armed with a 9mm Browning HP, a semi-automatic 9mm Uzi, and a Winchester 1200 12 gauge pump action shotgun. Once inside, he opened fire and spent the next 77 minutes shooting innocent people, killing 21 and injuring another 19. The response time of the police to the scene as well as him being in the building so long sparked public outrage that would change the future of tactical police responses to similar situations moving forward. At the time of the massacre, this was the largest mass shooting by a lone gunman in United States history.
