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.

BirthFactDeath (-) Friday 15th of March 1963 61 years ago An Olive Tree Would Sprout
Murderer Victor Harry Feguer is executed by hanging at the age of 28 in Iowa State Penitentiary, Fort Madison, Iowa, United States. Feguer's last meal request was for a single olive with the pit still in it. He told guards he hoped an olive tree would sprout from his grave as a sign of peace. Feguer was buried in an unmarked grave in Fort Madison City Cemetery in Iowa wearing a second new suit that was provided for his burial.
