Tyrone Mitchell
Tyrone Mitchell (October 17, 1955 – February 24, 1984) was an American who killed two people and wounded twelve others when shooting at students leaving 49th Street Elementary School in South Central Los Angeles, California on February 24, 1984. Mitchell then committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a double-barreled shotgun.〔(Girl killed, 11 shot at school on coast; suspect found dead ), ''The New York Times'' (February 25, 1984)〕
==Biography==
Mitchell was born to Lee Charles (July 24, 1931 – November 18, 1978) and Annie Lee Mitchell (July 7, 1930 – November 18, 1978) in Alabama.〔Moore, Rebecca. (Who Died in Jonestown and Georgetown, 18 November 1978? ). (Alternative Considerations of Jonestown ). Retrieved December 12, 2013.〕 He grew up in a South Central Los Angeles house that was later razed to build the 49th Street Elementary School. Mitchell and his family were members of the Reverend Jim Jones's Peoples Temple, and they followed Jones — without Mitchell〔 — in 1977 to Jonestown in Guyana. Mitchell lost both of his parents, four sisters and a brother in the mass murder-suicide that took place at Jonestown on November 18, 1978. According to Mitchell's fiancée, 29-year-old Marylou Hill, who would also join the Peoples Temple, he suffered a nervous breakdown as a result.
Mitchell returned to the South Central Los Angeles neighborhood where he was raised. He lived with his fiancée, Hill, in a two-story, white Victorian house at 730 East 50th Street, just 50 feet away from the school that now stood on the property where his childhood home had been. The house bore a crudely lettered sign "God's Love" and commanded a sweeping view of the school playground. Mitchell developed a reputation in the neighborhood for his irrational behavior and as a user of narcotics such as PCP. His fiancée vehemently denied that he had "a problem" with the drug. On December 5, 1979, about a year after his return, Mitchell was arrested at his residence. He had been in a dispute with his uncle and landlord, Willie Lee Mitchell, about who would relight the pilot light on Tyrone's water heater. Reportedly, the uncle had threatened to arm himself during the dispute, and Tyrone, in turn, fired three shots from a .30-caliber rifle into the air before police arrived. Two months later he was convicted of a misdemeanor charge of discharging a firearm within city limits, fined $200 and placed on two years' probation. Hill said that Mitchell kept a "high-powered rifle" in the house and, by 1984, he occasionally fired it at the sky. According to adjacent neighbors, in February 1984 Mitchell regularly shot at airliners passing overhead, which were landing at Los Angeles International Airport, located about five miles to the west. These incidents were not reported to police out of fear. In an incident on February 11, one of Mitchell's uncles reported to police that Mitchell had pointed a machine gun at him. No weapon was confiscated, no arrest made, and the matter was turned over to the city attorney.〔
Mitchell was a student at California State University, Long Beach for several years, where he attended a variety of classes. He did not hold a job. His fiancée, Marylou Hill, worked as a preschool teacher. Mitchell wanted to marry Hill right away, but she wanted to wait until their financial situation improved.〔
