Sylvia Seegrist
Sylvia Wynanda Seegrist (born July 31, 1960) is an American woman who on October 30, 1985 opened fire at a Springfield, Pennsylvania shopping mall, killing three people and wounding seven others before being disarmed by a Volunteer Firefighter/EMT who was shopping at the mall. The individuals killed included two men and a two-year-old boy.〔
〕 She was 25 years old and had been diagnosed as suffering from paranoid schizophrenia 10 years earlier. Having been committed and discharged several times, her case stimulated discussion about the state's authority to commit possibly dangerous people versus individual rights.

Seegrist's story parallels those of other mentally disturbed spree killers in several ways, such as a tendency toward violent thoughts, discussions, and behavior building to a major incident. Seegrist was hospitalized at least twelve times since she was fifteen years old. Silvia also had family problems. Her parents did not understand her mental disability, to make matters worse she had tomboyish looks. Seegrist attempted to enlist in the Army. At the time of her induction to the army she was viewed as a "lesbian" because of her looks to others in her platoon who harassed her about it. They went as far as to prank her by having one of their members ask her out on a fake date only to make her the butt of many jokes thereafter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mall Suspect Called `Ms. Rambo` Woman Held In Slayings Frequented Stores )〕 She spent a good deal of time at the mall she chose for the 1985 spree, harassing customers and making statements about how "good" other spree killings were, such as the 1984 San Ysidro McDonald's massacre. Seegrist joined the Army in December 1984 and she was discharged two months later due to her behavioral problems. Seegrist had made herself conspicuous with unusual behavior like sitting fully clothed wearing green army fatigues at both a spa and sauna at a local fitness club. An instructor at the fitness club Seegrist attended said "she hated everyone and would often talk about shooting and killing people".〔(Mother gave warning before mall shooting ), ''Pittsburgh Post-Gazette'' (November 2, 1985)〕
