Hamilton, Thomas

    0.06 sec.

Hamilton, Thomas (1953-1996)

Scottish murderer who entered the gym of a primary school in Dunblane, Scotland, in March 1996 and shot dead 16 children and a teacher and injured many other children. Hamilton shot and killed himself after the attack. Directly as a result of this crime, the British Government banned the ownership of handguns in the UK in 1997.

Hamilton had been a regular purchaser of firearms for more than 20 years and had been investigated by two councils for alleged misconduct towards young boys while he was a Boy Scout master.
