On the morning of May 18th, 1927, Andrew Kehoe murdered his wife and set his farm on fire. Meanwhile, at the Bath Consolidated School, he rigged explosives to go off at about the same time. He then drove to the school, parked his truck out front and detonated a bomb in his truck killing himself as well as other people surrounding it.

The response time of the police to the scene as well as him being in the building so long sparked public outrage that would change the future of tactical police responses to similar situations moving forward. At the time of the massacre, this was the largest mass shooting by a lone gunman in United States history.
