Insane Serial Murderer Dies

Howard Unruh killed 13 people in 20 minutes.

Howard Unruh, one of America’s most horrendous mass murderers, died on Monday at the age of 88. In 1949, after eating a breakfast of fried eggs prepared by his mother in their East Camden, New Jersey apartment, Unruh walked out of their home wearing a tropical suit and a bowtie and killed 10 adults and three children in a 20-minute mass shooting. Unruh, who was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and never went to trial, was confined in an institution for the criminally insane for a total of 60 years. Using a 9-millimeter German Luger pistol, the WWII vet and pharmacy school drop-out—known for attending church with his mother and reading the bible—killed a shoemaker, a tailor and his wife, a barber, a television repairman, drugstore owner, insurance agent, and several strangers. The most atrocious killing was that of a 6-year-old boy sitting on a hobby horse next to his mother in the barber shop. A psychiatric report claimed that Unruh’s thought his neighbors “were thinking of him as a homosexual.” Unruh spent his time in confinement sleeping, watching television, and collecting stamps.
