Summary

Patrick Purdy was a 24-year-old who had a rough childhood, mental difficulties, and a hatred for individuals whose ethnicity was something other than his own. On January 17, 1989, Purdy opened fire at the elementary school he attended as a child. He killed 5 children and wounded over 30 others, including one teacher, before turning the gun on himself.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss this school shooting that occurred in 1989. What went so wrong in Purdy's life to make him commit this horrible act? Also, we hear from some of the teachers that risked their lives that day displaying true acts of heroism.
