David Richard Berkowitz,
also known as the .44 Caliber Killer and the Son of Sam, is an American
serial killer and arsonist. Shortly after his arrest in August 1977,
Berkowitz confessed to killing six people and wounding seven others in the
course of eight shootings in New York City between 1976 and 1977. He has
been imprisoned for the crimes since 1977. His crimes had terrorized New
York for a year. Berkowitz subsequently claimed that he was commanded to
kill by a demon who possessed his neighbor's dog. -
Patrick Henry Sherrill
- Sherrill was a United States Postal Service employee who, on August 20,
1986 in Edmond, Oklahoma, shot and killed 14 employees with two .45
caliber pistols at his work place before turning one of the guns on
himself and committing suicide. Six other employees were wounded. -
