He was never sent for trial but people say that Howard Unruh walked on Camden’s 32nd Street on September 6, 1949, targeting many business owners and firing at many people,  including children.

The weapon used by Howard Unruh was a German  Lugar pistol. The victim who he killed last was 2 year old Tommy Hamilton, who was just looking out of  the window. One other child was killed who was just getting a haircut. Surprisingly he never went to trial,  Howard Unruh was as many say,  the first mass murderer in the United States.
