Harold Schechter

the Bath school disaster and the birth of the modern mass killer

In 1927, while the majority of the township of Bath, Michigan, was celebrating a new primary school, one of the most modern in the Midwest, Andrew P. Kehoe had other plans. The local farmer and school board treasurer was educated, respected, and an accommodating neighbor and friend. But behind his ordinary demeanor was a narcissistic sadist seething with rage, resentment, and paranoia. On May eighteenth, he detonated a set of rigged explosives with the sole purpose of destroying the school and everyone in it. Thirty-eight children and six adults were murdered that morning, culminating in the deadliest school massacre in US history
