Biswanath Halder

Biswanath Halder

On May 9, 2003, Biswanath Halder, an alumnus of Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), went on a shooting spree, killing one student, Norman Wallace, and wounding a professor and a Ph.D. student at the Weatherhead School of Management at CWRU in Cleveland, Ohio. Halder held off police and SWAT officers for over seven hours in sniper-like gun battles, while approximately 100 people hid in offices and closets until they were rescued by police. Halder was ultimately apprehended by a SWAT team in a fifth floor classroom closet.
