Description
“I sure never planned it this way. I was a pretty normal kid, I guess. Then again, when you've spent half of your life chasing ghosts, you tend to lose track of time in the sense that most of us experience it {Pause} they say life's a bitch and then you die; there is no God or guardian angels or divine intervention. You were born alone and you die alone. Life was a bitch and then you died. Game over.” so quoted killer Michael Kenneth McClendon. On March 10, 2009, Michael Kenneth McLendon, 28, shot and killed ten people in a shooting spree in three communities in two southern Alabama counties: Kinston in Coffee County, and Samson and Geneva in Geneva County. Five of the victims were family members and two were children. After engaging in an exchange of fire with police, he committed suicide, bringing the total of dead to eleven. Officials at the time said this was the worst shooting event in Alabama history. The aftermath of his crime left one burning question above all others; WHY? No one knows for sure what sent McClendon into the deadly rampage that killed eleven people, including himself, and wounded others. Those who might have known the reasons, his own relatives, were the apparent targets of his rage. Victims ranged in age from 18 months to 74-years-old. In RAMPAGE: THE GENEVA COUNTY MASSACRE, author Brian Lee Tucker, using eye witness testimony, documented interviews, newspaper coverage, and magazine articles, has created an in depth look into the mind of a seemingly normal young man who, unknown to all around him, harbored inner demons that could not be tamed without the urge to kill.
