Henry McIntyre had a reputation for being more than a little odd, but the Chicago Police Department thought he was a harmless religious fanatic--an eccentric. Some of his neighbors felt he was really very dangerous, and they were correct. On July 18, 1916, Henry and his wife Hattie armed themselves and began shooting at neighbors. Before they were finished, they had killed four people: neighbors Hampton Knox, C.W. Matthews, and Josephine Overmeyer; and Chicago Police Officer Stuart Dean. They also wounded two other neighbors and three other police officers. The Police Department had to use dynamite to breach the McIntyre's home. Henry and Hattie were both killed.
