By 1948, Howard Unruh was unemployed and living with his mother, Freda. He had been a decorated soldier in World War II but had trouble adjusting to life when he returned. Unruh is thought to be the first mass shooter and has been called the Father of Mass Murder by the press.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Howard Unruh. He likely had some form of PTSD after the war, and he was diagnosed with mental health illnesses. Howard began to believe his neighbors were talking about him behind his back and he started a kill list.
