Camden barber shop massacre shocks nation at length
A gunman identified as Howard Unruh killed numerous people in Camden and Philadelphia area shops and streets. Victims include a barber, a druggist, a mother and child, an insurance salesman, a TV service man, two women, and others amid a spree described as the worst street shooting in U.S. history. Police recovered an arsenal at Unruh's home and noted a preplanned motive linked to years of neighborly disputes.
