Police Establish Motive in Alabama Shooting Rampage that Killed 11

Police believe they have established a motive that sent Michael McLendon on a deadly shooting spree in which he killed ten people before turning the gun on himself in a pair of small towns in Alabama.

 

According to police reports McLendon had created a “hit-list” in which he kept track of people and businesses that had wronged him over the years.

 

McLendon’s murder spree began when he shot his mother to death and then burned down the home the two shared in Kinston. McLendon then carried his rampage into the towns of Samson and Geneva where he fired at homes, shops and passing vehicles.

 

Once in Samson the 28-year-old gunman killed four relatives as well as the wife and infant daughter of a sheriff’s deputy. Following those murders McLendon killed two people at a local convenience store and then shot to death a man passing by in a pick-up truck.

 

McLendon then traveled toward Geneva and with police in pursuit he began firing at the officers until he arrived at a metal products plant where he once worked. After entering the building McLendon turned the gun on himself, ending one of the worst shooting sprees in U.S. history
