summary?

The Bath School Massacre was a series of bomb attacks in and around Bath, Michigan, on May 18, 1927. The attacks killed 45 people and injured 58 others, some seriously. The victims were mostly students in grades one through six at Bath High School.

The perpetrator, Andrew Kehoe (1872–1927), was a member of the school board. Kehoe was angered by the property taxes that had been levied to finance the construction of the school building. He blamed those responsible for the taxes for his financial difficulties, which had led to a court order for the seizure of his farm. This event likely provoked Kehoe into carrying out his attack.

On the morning of May 18, 1927, Kehoe first killed his wife and then set his farm on fire. As the first firefighters arrived, an explosion rocked the school building, killing most of those inside. Kehoe had used a timer to detonate the dynamite . As rescue efforts began, Kehoe drove up and detonated his car, which was filled with metal debris, killing himself, the school principal, and others. During the rescue operation, an additional 230 kg of unexploded dynamite was found in the undamaged southern section of the school.

It's common. Not because of animosity, but rather to spare her from the fallout of his actions. She probably had no idea.
