Biswanath Halder
On May 9, 2003, Biswanath Halder, an immigrant from India and alumnus of Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), went on a shooting spree, killing one student, Norman Wallace, and wounding a professor and a Ph.D. student at the Weatherhead School of Management at CWRU in Cleveland, Ohio. Halder held off police and SWAT officers for over seven hours in sniper-like gun battles, while approximately 100 people hid in offices and closets until they were rescued by police. Halder was ultimately apprehended by a SWAT team in a fifth floor classroom closet.[1] In 2006, Dateline NBC aired a report on the incident, which featured video footage of the shooting, interviews with family members of Halder and Wallace, and discussions about Halder's motive.[2] He was later sentenced to life in prison. An appeal in 2008 was denied.[3]
