Monkseaton shootings
The Monkseaton shootings occurred on 30 April 1989 in Monkseaton, Tyne & Wear, England, when Robert Sartin killed one man and left 16 other people injured during a 20-minute shooting spree.
Sartin, a 22-year-old clerk, took his father's double-barrelled shotgun and climbed into a car outside his parents’ home at around 11.40am. Witnesses described how Sartin fired indiscriminately at people.
Judith Rhodes was driving along nearby Pykerley Road. As she drove along she noticed a figure dressed entirely in black. She then noticed the double-barrelled shotgun that the man was pointing at her. The first shot shattered the windscreen while the second shot struck her hand; the man then walked calmly away.
Lorraine Noble, 39, was then shot as she fled from Sartin on Windsor Road. She had been chatting to Frank Roberts when they spotted the gun. Lorraine ran to her house but was shot and badly injured; Frank threw himself to the ground.
Joan Kernaghan, her husband, James, and a neighbour, William Dack, were all shot at as they stood chatting in the street. Kenneth Mackintosh was then shot and killed on Windsor Road; once up close, the gunman shot his victim twice in the back, killing him. Robert Wilson, 38, was looking for his girlfriend; Sartin shot him in the face and back. Wilson was peppered with 60 pellets, 50 of which could not be removed.
The next victim was Kathleen Lynch, who was looking through her window. Sartin fired, injuring her shoulder. On Eastfield Avenue, Sartin then shot at Brian Thomas, 39, leading him to come off his bike.
Vera Burrows, 75, spoke with the killer at her door, on Eastfield Avenue, and asked him what he was doing. He replied, "It's me. I am killing people. I am going to kill you." But when he pointed the gun at her he continued: "Oh, you are old. I won't kill you," and walked away.
William Reynolds was shot in the back and neck. Husband and wife Peter and Jean Burgon were the next victims when Sartin shot them in their car. Kathleen Myley, 64, was then shot after she left church. Ernest Carter was shot in the back of the legs. Roy Brown was then injured when Sartin fired through the windscreen of his car. Jean Miller, 69, was in her garden on Brantwood Avenue when Sartin shot her in the stomach.
