Lyndon McLeod Gunned Down Five People

But First He Wrote a Book About It

For some reason, mass murderers like to write. They keep diaries. They pen manifestos. They blog and tweet and spout off on videos and social media.

Forty-seven-year-old Lyndon McLeod, who killed five people and wounded three others in a one-hour rampage on December 27, 2021, kept up the tradition, but on a larger scale. He filled up three self-published books with his anger and hate and self-pitying, paranoid view of the world.
