Mass murder and military aviation disaster. One community's experience with two fatal tragedies that occurred suddenly... but not without warning.
"A highly readable book ... from a unique source. Recommended for a wide audience." —Ron Franscell, best-selling true-crime author of Delivered from Evil
On 20 June 1994, a gunman opened fire on the patrons and staff of the Fairchild Air Force Base hospital. Four days later, a B-52 bomber with four souls onboard went down in a fiery crash. Hundreds of ordinary men and women experienced the tragedies. Countless others had struggled to prevent them.
People who interacted with the would-be gunman, and those who flew with the reckless pilot, had warned of impending violence and disaster. Why did their warnings go unheeded?
This compelling work of narrative-nonfiction comes from the military policeman and former criminal investigator who ended the killing spree. Andy Brown draws from extensive research and interviews with the people who witnessed the tragedies unfold to tell their story with cinematic clarity and detail. Brown also reveals how he had prepared for the deadly gunfight, describes his encounter with the gunman, and offers a candid insight into the hidden cost of becoming a "hero."
If you appreciate narrative nonfiction stories of humanity and heroism... If you enjoy learning from history... Read this page-turning true story of mental illness, mass murder, and aviation disaster.
*** Contains more than 70 non-graphic photographs and images ***
