On October 2, 2006, Charles Carl Roberts IV walked into an Amish schoolhouse located in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, and asked the people in it if they had seen a clevis pin. Then he told the boys in the school that they had to carry in an assortment of objects that included a couple of guns, nail, boards, among other things.
Then the gunman proceeded to force the 10 girls to line up by the chalkboard. He then proceeded to let all of the boys, and mothers with infants go outside. When officers arrived at the school Charles told them to leave. When officers did not leave Roberts opened fire. All in all 10 girls were shot, and five of them died including the shooter. Two of the girls died at the sight, one later that night died at the hospital, and two more died at the hospital the next day.
The shooter was a milk truck driver whose name was Charles Carl Roberts IV. Before he drove to the school he left four suicide notes. One note was to his wife saying that he had molested two children, and was dreaming about doing it again. The other notes were to his three children. The gun used in the shooting was a Springfield XD 9mm handgun. There was also a shotgun, and a stun gun brought into the schoolhouse.
