Computer Learning Center shooting
On February 19, 1976, 18-year-old student Neil Jordan "Bishop" Liebeskind opened fire with a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun at the Computer Learning Center, an independent computer school in Santa Monica, California, United States. After killing one student and wounding seven others in a classroom, he fled to the parking lot. Security guards for a television crew nearby overheard the shooting, so they ran to the school and ordered Liebeskind to surrender.
Why it's on the map
After firing a second shot, he called out someone's name and continued to shoot.
Liebeskind was initially charged with one count of murder, one count of kidnapping, and nine counts of assault with a deadly weapon in March 1976.
