Stockton schoolyard shooting

The Stockton schoolyard shooting (also known as the Cleveland School massacre) occurred on January 17, 1989, at Cleveland Elementary School at 20 East Fulton Street in Stockton, California, United States. The gunman, Patrick Purdy, who had a long criminal history, shot and killed five schoolchildren and wounded 32 others before committing suicide. His victims were predominantly Southeast Asian refugees.
==The shooting==

On the morning of January 17, 1989, an anonymous person phoned the Stockton Police Department regarding a death threat against Cleveland Elementary School. At noon that day, Patrick Purdy, a disturbed drifter and former Stockton resident, began his attack by setting his fireworks-laden Chevrolet Van on fire with a Molotov cocktail after parking it behind the school, later causing the van to explode. He went to the school playground, where he began firing with a semi-automatic assault rifle from behind a portable building. Purdy fired 106 rounds in three minutes, killing five children and wounding thirty others, including one teacher.〔(Schoolyard gunman called a troubled drifter, ''The Deseret News'' ) (January 18, 1989)〕
All of those who died and many of the wounded were Cambodian and Vietnamese immigrants, who had come with families to the United States as refugees.〔Jay Mathews, Matt Lait, ("Rifleman slays five at school" ), ''Washington Post,'' Jan, 18, 1989, pg. A1.〕 Purdy committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a pistol.〔(Slaughter in A School Yard ), ''Time'' magazine, (January 30, 1989)〕 Purdy had carved the words "freedom", "victory", "Earthman", and "Hezbollah" on his rifle, and his flak jacket was inscribed with "PLO", "Libya", and "death to the Great Satin" ().
