Anyone seen this before?
I ran across this the other day by chance, saw his name on a list of what were called "spree" killers. I had never heard of him before. The weapon would be of interest here.

Really tragic, and for sure I would never want that gun in my collection.

I have a 1906 American Eagle .30 cal that was used in a triple homicide back in 1955. There was a 4 man card game and one accused another of cheating. He pulled out his Luger and shot all three others. My dad was a very good friend of the sheriff at the time. He gave him the pistol as well as the coroners photos of the deceased. I would post the pictures here, except I feel it would be in bad taste. Strange thing about the shooter is he was a one armed man and was able to fire several shots with one hand. BTW: I still have the Luger along with a newspaper account of the incident and the coroners photos. I was 10 years old at the time. My dad passed it to me when he became very ill.
