The Bath School disaster is the name given to three bombings in Bath Township, Michigan, on May 18, 1927, which killed 38 elementary school children, two teachers, four other adults and the bomber himself; at least 58 people were injured. Most of the victims were children in the second to sixth grades (7–14 years of age [1]) attending the Bath Consolidated School. Their deaths constitute the deadliest mass murder in a school in U.S. history.

When does murder become mass murder? More than one, five, ten?
Tripped and fell on the first sentence. The killer in the theater did not have auto weapons.
They can define mass murder as “Chicago”......but that may be the plan. Somehow, I believe they are using blacks in Chicago to turn people against guns. JMO
While it was far from murder, I do remember reading somewhere about some guy killing 1,000 men just using the jaw bone of an ass.
Some other asses in Congress have reputedly used their jaw bones to talk to death a fair number of victims, too.
Caligula..now there was one who was really good at it.
Of course the Romans were all good at it. Later, it was the church who became good at it.
Bloody Mary killed some 300 for simply having bibles in English on them-two who were my ancestors. There are first hand accounts of the burnings.
