Howard Barton Unruh was a veteran and mass murderer known for killing 13 people in Camden, New Jersey, on September 6, 1949, marking him as the first mass murderer in American history. Previously a brave tank soldier during World War II, he became socially withdrawn after returning home. Facing ridicule from neighbors and struggling with mental health issues, he committed the shootings in just 12 minutes before surrendering to police. Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, he was institutionalized rather than incarcerated, raising concerns about the treatment of veterans. Unruh passed away on October 19, 2009.
