July 4, 1933 - John Felton Parish
What set the 1982 Grand Prairie attack apart was its combination of targeted workplace violence and a vehicular flight that extended the danger well beyond the initial scene. Parish moved through two warehouse sites he knew intimately before commandeering a semi-trailer truck, a sequence that reflected both deliberate planning and familiarity with the environment. The attack held the grim distinction of being the deadliest shooting rampage in Dallas–Fort Worth history at that time.
From Wikipedia
On August 9, 1982, a mass shooting and vehicle-ramming attack took place in Grand Prairie, Texas, United States. The perpetrator, 49-year-old John Parish, carried out a shooting around two warehouses he worked for before fleeing the scene in a stolen semi-trailer truck. Following a high-speed chase through the city's downtown area, Parish broke through a police barricade, injuring an officer, and crashed into a building. He was subsequently killed by police during a shootout.
It was the worst shooting rampage in Dallas–Fort Worth history at that time.
