Between the 3rd and 19th of October 1975 an illiterate factory worker with a criminal record, William Edward Hardesty, murdered 7 people as well as a cat. His rampage ended on the 19th of October when he held up a bank and attempted to rob it. After a standoff with authorities he was tear gassed and sent to hospital. He was charged with the murders as well as assault and after three years of sanity hearings in 1981 he was given 7 life sentences for the murders, and terms of 100 to 200 years and 150 to 300 years for the assaults. He appealed against his conviction in 1984 however this was unsuccessful. He is currently serving time in prison.

Edit: I got one fact wrong. That photo was taken outside his parents home it was probably taken outside of the bank.
