Leo Held

 VICTIMS:

A 39-year-old Lab Technician, Leo Held was not really thought of a possible murderer. He was married, had four kids, was a scout leader (it's always the scout leaders), school board member, churchgoer and volunteer fire-fighter.

But behind this life he hid his true feelings. he hated his neighbors, well he hated everyone. They were all out to get him, so he thought, but it was his next door neighbors who really pissed him off. They burned leaves in their yard and this was done purely to spite him. And the cunts at work all got promotions ahead of him. Well Leo wasn't going to take their shit anymore. And on October 24, 1967, he decided to take revenge on all those who were plotting against him.

So, he left the house on his way to work. Once there, well you could say he made a grand entrance. He strode into the building and quicker than you could say "Holy Fuck" he had started picking the back stabbing bastards off. He had a .38 revolver in one hand and a .44 magnum in the other and was putting them to good use. He got three of his bastard supervisors and two of his lab technician work mates. He walked through the place at a slow pace picking them off apparently at random.

Once done at the mill he moved on to Lock Haven Airport where his slut neighbor, Geraldine Ramm, worked as a switchboard operator. He stopped off here only long enough to put four bullets in the scheming bitch, wounding her seriously.

From here he went back home to Loganton where he paid a visit to his leave burning neighbors, the Quiggles. They were still asleep at this time so he had to brake in to the house. Once inside he headed upstairs to the master bedroom where he filled Floyd Quiggle's head with his bullets. He also put a couple of bullets into his wife, wounding her. He then went downstairs and stole a few rifles and some ammo from the Quiggles stash. He then pushed their 4-year-old daughter out of the way as he left through the front door, where he was greeted by a shitload of police.

He came out all guns blazing, firing off at anything, but hitting nothing. Then his leg was smashed by a police bullet, and he went down. The police called for him to surrender, but Leo answered this with more bullets and a "Come and get me", followed by more bullets. This continued until he was finally hit in the head. He stopped firing then.

He died later in the Lock Haven Hospital unable to answer any of the questions that police had.
 

MY OPINION

Leo was a great. He was one of the early pioneers of the 'kill your co-workers' style of murder. And for this he must never be forgotten. He was also a nut, which is always good in Mass Murderers. What makes these guys crack? It will always puzzle me as to how people can't know it's going to happen with some of these guys. Well anyway, I reckon Leo Held was a great killer, even if his numbers weren't the best.
