The Westernville New Year's Day shooting was a mass murder that occurred at a family gathering in Westernville, New York, United States on New Year's Day in 1969. Ralph MacLachlan (aged 35 or 37),[1][2] a meat cutter and church elder, armed with a semi-automatic .22-caliber rifle, killed four people, including his wife, and injured five others. The next morning, MacLachlan committed suicide by shooting himself following an exchange of gunfire with police.[3][4][5] Following the shooting, MacLachlan's brother stated that he had "no indication he was acting abnormally" during a phone conversation around an hour before the shooting. At the time, according to his brother, MacLauchlan was watching a New Year's Day bowl game on the television.[6]

Victims

Four people were shot and killed, and a further five were injured. The fatalities include:

  • Anita Turke MacLachlan, 33,[7] the perpetrator's wife
  • Jane Turke Ringrose, 35, the perpetrator's sister-in-law
  • Barbara Jean Ringrose, 12, the perpetrator's niece
  • Milton James Pepper, 14,[7] the family's neighbor

Additionally, the shooter injured his father-in-law, mother-in-law, 10-year-old niece, brother-in-law, and another neighbor.[3] MacLachlan and Anita's two-year-old and nine-month-old sons were unharmed after Anita hid them in a bedroom closet.[8]
