This Day in History: The Hifi Murders occurred on this day in 1974 at a home audio store in Ogden, Utah. Three people were killed and others were injured using violent tactics which included kicking a pen into an ear, the brutal rape of a teenage girl who was later shot in the head and forcing the victims to drink Drano. The criminals who would eventually be executed for their crimes complained they were being executed because of their race.
April 22 also claims the largest mass-killing in North Dakota, when 7 members of the Jacob and Beata Wolf family were shot and/or killed with a hatchet in 1920.
April 22 also marks the date of the Pike County Massacre where eight people – all belonging to the Rhoden family – were shot and killed in four homes in Pike County, Ohio.
April 22 also marks the birthday of Vladimir Lenin, who started a system of Socialist governance that would lead to the deaths of tens of millions.
I'm telling you, April is a bad month for mass violent events.
