50 years ago It Didn't Work Out



16-year-old school shooter Anthony Barbaro  indiscriminately shoots at people on the street from windows at the third floor of the school building with a Remington .30-06-caliber rifle with telescopic sight and a 12-gauge shotgun in Olean High School, Olean, New York, United States.

62-year-old Earl Metcalf, 58-year-old Neal Pilon and 25-year-old Carmen Wright Drayton were killed and another 11 people were injured during the shooting. In a note explaining his motives Barbaro wrote: "I guess I just wanted to kill the person I hate most -- myself, I just didn't have the courage. I wanted to die, but I couldn't do it, so I had to get someone to do it for me. It didn't work out."
