Never say never...
Wayne Lo was born in Tainan, Taiwan. His father was a fighter pilot in the Taiwanese air force and his mother was a music teacher. Lo has a younger brother. The family immigrated to the U.S. in 1987, settling in Billings, Montana. His parents ran a restaurant business in Billings. Lo attended Lewis and Clark Jr. High School and then Billings Central Catholic High School. Lo was a violinist and played in the Billings Symphony beginning in his freshman year of high school. He attended the Aspen Music Festival and studied under Dorothy Delay.
In 1991, Lo was accepted by Simon's Rock College of Bard in Great Barrington, Massachusetts and given the W.E.B. DuBois minority scholarship.
Shooting rampage
Lo did not adjust well to the liberal college environment of Simon's Rock. Lo held conservative views which were deemed racist, homophobic and anti-semitic by fellow students at the college. Lo steadily became more and more excluded by his fellow students.
On December 14, 1992, Lo carried out a shooting rampage. That morning he received an ammunition order that he had placed two days earlier. He then went to Pittsfield, MA and purchased an SKS at a gun shop that afternoon. Lo commenced shooting at around 10:30 pm. The victims:
Nacunan Saez - 37 - professor - shot dead
Galen Gibson - 18 - student - shot dead
Theresa Beavers - 42 - security guard - wounded
Thomas McElderry - 19 - student - wounded
Joshua Faber - 15 - student - wounded
Matthew David - 18 - student - wounded
Lo surrendered to the police after his rifle jammed and he called 911, informing them that he was the shooter. He was taken into custody without incident.
