Friedrich Leibacher - Biography
Friedrich Heinz Leibacher (July 21, 1944 – September 27, 2001) was a Swiss mass murderer who killed 14 members of the Zug canton Parliament, injuring 18 others, before committing suicide in the Zug massacre.
Leibacher had been employed in business, and had several failed marriages to women from the Dominican Republic, of whom one had a daughter. In 1970 he was convicted of incest, theft, forgery and traffic offences, and sentenced to 18 months' detention. He served his sentence in a work-training institution.
At 10:30 a.m. on 27 September 2001, Leibacher entered the Zug Parliament disguised as a police officer and armed with a pistol, a revolver, a pump-action shotgun, and a rifle. He made his way to the Parliament chamber where he fired 91 shots randomly. Politicians and journalists alike were hit, although Robert Bisig escaped unscathed. Finally, Leibacher detonated a small home-made bomb, then shot himself. He left behind a suicide note describing his action as a "day of rage for the Zug mafia".
