Christian Dornier

 VICTIMS: ?

On July 12, 1989 Christian Dornier, a man known by most in his town as being a complete toss, made a name for himself. The thirtyone-year-old picked up a double barrel shotgun and shot his father, wounding him. He then killed the local veterinarian who had been called out to the farm earlier. He then walked up to the family house and blew his mother and recently married sister apart with the shotgun. Then Dornier, in something sounding similar to Howard Unrah, walked through the town of Luxiol shooting indesciminatly at anything that moved. Within three minutes he had killed three young children, one girl who was playing in her front yard and two boys riding their bikes through the street.

Dornier then walked back home and got into his car, a VW Golf. A cop tried to stop him around this time but just ended up copping a bullet. Just after this a neighbour manage to wound him. During this little shoot-out with the neigbours Dornier manage to kill four more before driving off.

He then went to the next village, Autechaux. He managed to kill a farmer on his tractor. During his car ride through town he also killed three passing motorists. He continued through to the next town, Verne, where his luck run out and he was seriously wounded by police.

On November 10, 1989 it was decided that Dornier was insane, and therefore he was never tried for any murder. As far as I know he's sitting comfortably in a nice padded room at the moment.

Quotes about the guy.

"There was no argument or quarrel of any kind . . . He just picked up his gun and fired it point blank at Corinne, killing her instantly. Then my mother telephoned the police . . . He fired and killed her too."
Dornier's brother tells the story.

"He had no friends, hardly ever talked to anybody. We knew he was going to create havoc one day and the police should have dealt with him months ago. Unfortunately, our laws don't allow such preventative action."
Dominique Cuenot - a member of the local council.

"Everyone was frightened of him."
A female resident.
 

MY OPINION

A fun guy? Na, I never really liked this bloke. I'm not sure why, I've just always had a thing against him. Although shooting little kids with a shotgun is fairly rare. I think it's the fact he was a farmer, I just can't relate to this kind of person. He also sounded like a bit of a wanker before the murders. But still 14 kills is nothing to be scoffed at. A good effort, even if I don't like the guy.
