Richland High School, North Richland Hills, Texas
Friday, September 28, 1984

Homecoming is a time for alumni to return to remember all the good times they had with their friends. 1981 alumnus Barry Wayne Shaw did not have good times on his mind when we went back to his alma mater this morning. He came carrying a 9mm Uzi submachine gun, an AR-15 strapped across his neck and a .45-caliber pistol in a shoulder harness looking for one teacher. The teacher's classroom had recently moved across the campus, something Barry didn't know at the time. He finally gave up the hunt, yelled out "Homecoming, homecoming," and sprayed the school's foyer with 30 rounds of ammunition. His bullets struck windows and the ceiling, but none of the dozen or so students who were also in the foyer at the time. However, a male student was injured by flying debris. Principal Ray Williams arrived after Barry had fired his last shot to confront him. Barry threw both rifles at Ray, saying "I did it." Principal Williams had Barry sit down and wait for the police while he inspected his students for injuries. Barry offered no resistance. He was wearing a white t-shirt under a khaki-colored vest with flap pockets, blue jeans and cowboy boots when he was arrested. That night, Richland beat Arlington Lamar 14-3 in the traditional homecoming football game. Over the weekend, it was discovered that Barry had killed Dallas karate instructor Jimmy Glen Wilson and wounded Rudy Smedley earlier in the week with the submachine gun. He was charged with two counts of intent to commit murder, one count of retaliation and one count of murder. Bond was denied. On the following Monday, October 1, 1984, a 16-year-old male student phoned in a bomb threat at Richland High School's cafeteria. Fire and police officials arrived and searched for the bomb, but none was found. Because of the design of the school, with the cafeteria well away from students, the students were not evacuated.
