Woo Bum-kon (or Wou Bom-kon, February 24, 1955 – April 27, 1982) was a South Korean policeman and spree killer who killed 56 people and wounded 35 others in several villages in Uiryeong County, South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea, during the night from April 26 to April 27, 1982, before committing suicide.[1]
His rampage remained the deadliest known mass murder committed by a lone gunman in modern history until the Norway attacks of July 22, 2011,[2] and was the deadliest single loss of life in modern South Korean history until the Daegu subway fire.

| It's also the 17th anniversary of the Erfurt school massacre. |

And here I thought I knew of every mass murder committed in April... What a demented month, no?
