Friday marked the 25th anniversary of the Cleveland Elementary School shooting in Stockton, Calif., the first mass shooting of schoolchildren in American history. In the space of three minutes, five kids ranging in age from 6 to 9 were killed and 29 others were wounded, as was a teacher.

The gunman, Patrick Purdy, 26, was a mentally ill drifter with white supremacist leanings. Like Adam Lanza, he returned to the school he had attended as a child to carry out his rampage—a school populated by many Southeast Asians. (All the children killed and many of those wounded were Cambodian and Vietnamese immigrants.) An alcoholic who had been arrested for selling weapons and attempted robbery, he was able to walk into a gun shop in Sandy, Ore., and leave with an AK-47.

Purdy carved the words “freedom,” “victory” and “Hezbollah” into the gun’s stock and donned a flak jacket that read “PLO”, “Libya” and “death to the Great Satan.” He inserted earplugs, sprayed 106 bullets into a schoolyard full of kindergarteners through third-graders, then shot himself in the head.

Why did he do it? “He just hated everybody,” Stockton police captain Dennis Perry told Time magazine in 2001. But to California lawmakers, the more important question was how he was able to get the gun. In the wake of the shooting, measures were taken to ban assault weapons, resulting in the Roberti-Roos Assault Weapons Control Act of 1989. It was the nation’s first assault-weapons ban, and it helped pave the way for the federal assault-weapons ban that lasted from 1994 to 2004.

For the survivors of the massacre at Cleveland Elementary, the horror of that day is brought back with each new shooting. “It’s there now always in front of our faces,” Judy Weldon, 65, who taught second grade in 1989 and tended to the wounded that day, told the Contra Costa Times. “We have to address it.”

After Newtown, Weldon and Julie Schardt, a fellow teacher at Cleveland Elementary, founded a group called Cleveland School Remembers, which lobbied last year in Washington, D.C., and Sacramento in favor of gun-control legislation.

“Yes, we all grow and move on and change,” Weldon said. “But we never, ever forget.”

Here is today’s report.
