On the evening of September 23, 1995, in Sollies-Pont, France, 16-year-old high school student Éric Borel, murdered his entire family with his stepfather’s .22-caliber rifle. Afterwards, he walked several miles to the Village of Cuers, where the next morning he strolled through the streets and continued his shooting spree. Éric took the lives of 13 people, including his family, and injured four more during his deadly rampage. What had caused such a heinous act of violence remains unclear but there was speculation that his mother, who was fanatically religious and extremely controlling, was physically abusing him as well as his stepfather. In the days leading up to committing multiply murders, Éric had expressed to several classmates his wish to commit suicide but before he did, he going to kill a few people first. Stating to them, “I’ve had enough.” So, was this just a sinister teen who had a lust for blood, or one that had been abused and controlled so severely that it had taken a toll on his mental health that had led to a deadly break in his psyche.
