In 2006, Charles Carl Roberts IV, a 32-year-old milk truck driver — who was not of Amish faith — barricaded himself inside the West Nickel Mines Amish School, lined up the school children and teachers, and shot 10 students execution style. He killed five and injured five, including Rosanna S. King who died this week, before taking his own life he died of suicide as police closed in.
