Summary

Meyer Berger Veteran kills 12 in mad rampage on Camden street (1949)

While his mother lay on the sofa in her housedress and a worn old sweater, coming back to consciousness, Unruh was walking from shop to shop in the 3200 block with deadly calm, spurting Luger in hand. Children screamed as they tumbled over one another to get out of his way. Men and women ducked into open shops, the women shrill with panic, men hoarse with fear. No one could quite understand for a time what had been loosed in the block.

Oddly enough, he did not start with the druggist, against whom he seemed the have the sharpest feelings, but left him almost until the last.
From the cobbler's he went into the little tailor shop at 3214 River Road. The tailor was out. Helga Zegrino, 28, the tailor's wife, a bride of a month, was there alone. She screamed when Unruh walked in with his Luger in hand. Some people across the street heard her. Then the gun blasted again and Mrs. Zegrino pitched over dead. Unruh walked into the sunlight again.

Maurice Cohen, who lived next door to him. They are among the dead.
Maurice Cohen was a druggist with a shop at 3202 River Road in East Camden. He and his wife had had frequent sharp exchanges over the Unruhs' use of a gate that separates their back yard from the Cohens'. Mrs. Cohen had also complained of young Unruh's keeping his bedroom radio tuned high into the late night hours. None of the other victims ever had trouble with Unruh.
