Adam Lanza: his mother

On December 14th, 2012, 20-year-old Adam Lanza would go on the second deadliest school massacre in USA history. But, before that attack, he would end the life of his 52-year-old mother, Nancy Lanza. Before his attack, Adam entered his mother's bedroom where she had been asleep. She had just gotten back from an out-of-town trip. Armed with a .22-caliber Savage Mark II rifle, Adam aimed the gun at Nancy's head and shot her four times. The shots nearly decapitated her. After this, Adam would travel to Sandy Hook Elementary School and end the lives of 26 people before shooting himself in the head.

Salvador Ramos: his grandmother

On May 24th, 2022, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos and his 66-year-old grandma, Celia Gonzalez, got into an argument. He had been living with her at the time after an argument erupted with his mother, Adriana (who was abusive and neglectful btw). After this argument, Salvador retrieved a firearm and shot his grandmother in her face. He then stole the truck at their home and drove it to Robb Elementary School where he would end the lives of 21 people before being shot to death by police. Salvador's grandma ended up surviving the attack after a stay in the hospital. She actually ended up running out of her home after the attack while bleeding and yelling for help.

Jeff Weise: his grandpa

On March 21st, 2005, 16-year-old Jeff Weise would retrieve a .22-caliber pistol from his bedroom before walking to his grandfather's sleeping form. His grandpa, 58-year-old Daryl Lussier Sr., had been asleep when Jeff shot him twelve times. Jeff had been living with his grandfather due to the fact that his father had been killed by police years prior and his mother did not want to take care of him and was very abusive. Jeff's grandfather had been a police sergeant, which prompted Jeff to take his grandpa's police issued firearms, bulletproof vest, belt, and squad car. While at his home, Jeff also shot and killed his grandpa's girlfriend, 32-year-old Michelle Sigana, two times as she walked downstairs. Jeff then left the home and arrived at Red Lake Senior High School. While there, Jeff killed seven people before ending his life after being wounded by the police. I find it odd that this attack didn't get a lot of attention... I suspect it's because it was on a Native American reserve.

Charles Whitman: his wife and mother

Back in the 1960s, 25-year-old Charles Whitman would go on a massacre at the University of Texas. But, prior to this, Whitman ended the lives of his wife and mother. Whitman first targeted his mother, 43-year-old Margaret Whitman, inside of her apartment. He arrived at her complex late that night and, after she introduced him to some people, they went upstairs to her bedroom. Once inside, Charles almost immediately attacked his mother. Oddly, there is no autopsy report, but this is what most likely happened. Charles pulled out a knife and, easily being able to overpower her as a 6'0 ft former marine, she panicked and attempted to flee. It seems as if Whitman then slammed her hand into a door due to her fingers being almost completely crushed. Her wedding ring had even popped off after being stuck. Whitman then most likely then moved behind his mother and strangled her with a black hose found at the scene. He then seemingly bashed her head into something (possibly the wall) before knocking her unconscious. After she was unconscious, he stabbed her with a knife and placed her body onto her bed, wrapping her with sheets. Hours later, Whitman arrived back at his shared apartment with his wife, 23-year-old Kathleen Whitman. She had already fallen asleep prior and had, seemingly, immediately went to sleep after work. Whitman pulled the sheets back slightly that had been covering her body before stabbing her five times in the chest, one time hitting her heart. He was able to complete this quickly. He then covered her body with new sheets. Whitman later said he wanted his mother and wife to die as painlessly as possible because he loved them a lot. Whitman would then kill 15 people at the University of Texas Tower. Total, he ended the lives of 17 people and injured 31 others before the cops shot him dead. In my opinion, the scariest thing about Whitman was that he was literally praised in the marines for being extremely skilled at shooting moving targets at long distances.

Amy Bishop: her brother

Years before 44-year-old Amy Bishop would go on a killing spree at the University of Alabama, she had "accidentally" killed her brother, Seth, by fatally shooting him. On December 9th, 1986, Amy Bishop (who was 21 at the time) was inside the kitchen with her brother, 18-year-old Seth Bishop. Amy, who was armed with a shotgun at the time, stated she had accidentally discharged the weapon and shot her brother. The bullet had entered Seth's chest and killed him. Amy and Seth's mother, Judith, had witnessed the entire shooting. She claimed Amy did not mean to discharge the firearm. Judith said that Amy had been holding the rifle and told her there was a shell inside the gun and she couldn't figure out how to unload it. Judith told her not to aim the gun at anyone, to which Amy turned and faced Seth. Judith said the gun then "accidentally" discharged and shot Seth. She said Amy then instantly ran out of the home, still holding the firearm. Any fired the gun two times in the home. Police later determined Amy had accidentally shot Seth. But, after Amy fatally shot and killed 3 people and injured 3 more over 20 years later, many began to question if Amy truly accidentally killed Seth. After her arrest, Amy was diagnosed with schizophrenia and expressed remorse for the event. She was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.

Luke Woodham: his mother

On the morning of October 1st, 1997, 16-year-old Luke Woodham stated (later) he was hearing voices and was following the voices' instructions. While his mother, 50-year-old Mary Ann Woodham, prepared to go on a jog, Luke walked over to her and attacked her. In her autopsy, it showed Luke had stabbed her seven times and slashed her eleven times. Some of the stab wounds ended up hitting Mary's lungs and heart. Luke later described the relationship he had with his mother as devoid of love and seemingly nonexistent. He also recalled having no memory of attacking her. But, after murdering her, Luke took his mother's car and arrived at Pearl High School. Upon arrival, Luke was wearing a trench coat which shielded a rifle. Luke then killed 2 people and injured 7 others before attempting to flee the scene. Luckily, Luke was stopped and held at gunpoint. Total, he killed three people. After his arrest, he tried to plead insanity, but it was rejected both times. I actually find this odd considering Luke showed signs of possible psychosis. He was never formerly diagnosed with anything, but it is most likely Luke suffers from either schizophrenia or schizotypal personality disorder. Luke is currently serving a life sentence with the chance of parole in 2046.
