Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

Roberts entered the one-room school at 9.51 am with a Springfield XD 9×19mm handgun, a Browning 12 gauge shotgun, a Ruger .30-06 bolt-action rifle, about 600 rounds of ammunition, cans of black powder, a stun gun, two knives, a change of clothes, an apparent truss board and a box containing a hammer, hacksaw, pliers, wire, screws, bolts and tape. Roberts shot dead 7-year-old Naomi Rose Ebersol, 13-year-old Marian Stoltzfus Fisher, 12-year-old Anna Mae Stoltzfus, 8-year-old Lena Zook Miller and 7-year-old Mary Liz Miller and injured another five schoolgirls between 6 and 13 years old. The schoolhouse was torn down eleven days after the tragedy and was re-built in a nearby location.
