WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:11.000 Mass shootings have become somewhat of an epidemic in places 2 00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.960 such as North America, but just because they are more 3 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.399 prominent in certain places does not mean other nations around 4 00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.480 the world have not experienced the same pain from these 5 00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:25.679 tragic events. In nineteen ninety six, Australia would experience the 6 00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:30.519 worst mass shooting in their history, with one monster gunning 7 00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.840 down anyone in their path. To date, the event has 8 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:38.000 left a scar on their country's history, and that day 9 00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:42.079 has forever been known as the Port Arthur Massacre. 10 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.719 My name is Ben, I'm Nicole, and you're listening to 11 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:50.280 Wicked Ingram, a true crime podcast. 12 00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:59.759 The following material for a mature audience listener discretion lies. 13 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.840 This is one hell of a case.

We chitchat are some of the things 39 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:34.439 we want to discuss about it. But I think I'm 40 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:35.240 just ready to dive in. 41 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:37.680 If you are too, Yeah, let's door. 42 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:41.439 You have no what's the word objections to it? 43 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:41.840 No? 44 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:46.919 No? Okay, Well let's start the story. So the story 45 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.560 of Port Arthur is one filled with you know, it's 46 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:53.039 a very long history. It is a town and former 47 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:58.080 convict settlement that exists on Tasmania Pensula Peninsula. There we 48 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:02.639 go in Tasmania Australia, where it is located approximately ninety 49 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:07.240 seven kilometers southeast of the state capital, Hobert. Now. It 50 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.400 was originally named after a man by the name of 51 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.520 George Arthur, who is the Lieutenant Governor of Van Diemen's 52 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.520 Land when the settlement started in eighteen thirty, but it 53 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:21.159 is best known for being a penal colony. However, aside 54 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.400 from the historical aspect of Port Arthur, it has become 55 00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.560 famous and very well known across Australia and the world 56 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:32.360 alike for a very dark reason. Port Arthur is home 57 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.120 to the largest mass shooting Australia has ever seen, known 58 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.520 as the Port Arthur Massacre. At around one ten pm 59 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.039 on April twenty eighth and nineteen ninety six, twenty nine 60 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.560 year old Martin Bryant arrived at the Port Arthur tourist 61 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.719 site after paying the entry fee. He initially parked his 62 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.360 vehicle near the Broad Arrow Cafe close to the waterfront. 63 00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:58.319 The site's security manager noticed Brian had or sorry noticed 64 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.520 Martin Bryant had parked in a spot designated for camper events. 65 00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.479 He instructed him to relocate his car to a different spot, 66 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:08.199 different parking area, and Martin complied, yeah, okay, no problem, right, 67 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.479 and he went to move his car, but he soon 68 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:13.719 after a moment of just sitting in his car, turned 69 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.360 his car around and parked near the cafe once again. 70 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:22.879 Now the security manager noticed this, but didn't really say much, Right, okay, whatever, 71 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.360 it's a fairly busy day that they're dealing with today, 72 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:27.920 busier than normal, so he just kind of whatever, just 73 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.879 moved on doing what they're doing, right, fair enough, So 74 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.439 Martin sat in his car for several minutes before getting 75 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.439 out and doing something in the back seat and then 76 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.480 in the trunk of his car before heading towards the cafe. 77 00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.279 And when he was heading to the cafe, the security 78 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.199 guard actually noticed he was carrying a sports bag type 79 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:48.319 Duffel bag and he's headed to go have a seat, 80 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:53.800 so as he ignored this, and as the man walked up. 81 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.600 He goes inside and Martin ordered a meal and took 82 00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.759 it to the outside at a table that was on 83 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:02.680 the the sun deck the cafe sun deck. He sat 84 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.720 down with his bag and placed it on the ground 85 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:06.399 next to him and placed his meal on the table 86 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:09.759 in front of him. During his meal, he briefly engaged 87 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:14.079 other visitors in some small talk conversation, mentioning the scarcity 88 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.519 of wasps this year out there not a whole lot 89 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.040 being around and the fewer number of Japanese tourists compared 90 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.240 to usual as well that they see on the site. 91 00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:25.519 It was mostly just small talk, you know, just little 92 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.560 things whatever he could, right, and just having casual conversations 93 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.639 as he's you know, just enjoying the meal in the cafe. 94 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.240 It's not not any different than what a lot of 95 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.079 cafe individuals do. You know, if you're going there, you're 96 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:38.560 not reading a book or on your phone or laptop, 97 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:42.360 you know, you often make mention of something to someone 98 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:44.480 around you. Hey, you know, I like your jacket or whatever. 99 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.160 Right, Well, honestly, I feel like that seems super friendly. 100 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.000 Well it is, and I mean this is in the 101 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:52.000 nineties as well, like today with a bit more technology, 102 00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:53.720 there is a bit less of. 103 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.240 That, yes, because I'm often at cafes like working, so 104 00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.680 I wouldn't look like I'm very approachable necessarily anymore. 105 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.319 And I don't think someone's about to approach someone who's 106 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.279 busy in that manner, right, Yeah. But like, for example, 107 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.279 if someone's sitting here reading a book and it's like, oh, 108 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.079 I also read books by that author. You know, they 109 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.199 might strike up a conversation. Yeah, more so again in 110 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.399 that era than today. But so that's kind of what 111 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:20.959 was going on, just striking up casual conversation with those 112 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:24.480 around him as he's there enjoying his meal. Now, throughout 113 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.480 this time, his behavior was noted to be a bit strange. 114 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:29.639 Outside of just being a bit friendly. He appeared a 115 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.319 little bit anxious and was frequently glancing back at his 116 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.639 car and went back at where it was parked, and 117 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:38.920 then also back inside the cafe. So this cafe, I'm 118 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.879 not sure if I mentioned it's named the Broad Arrow Cafe. 119 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:43.480 I don't know if I said that or not, but 120 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:43.879 it is. 121 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:44.720 So. 122 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.800 It isn't exactly a large place, this cafe. It's a 123 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.680 typical small, you know cafe, you grab cup of coffee, 124 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.600 bite to eat whatever. Right, and today being a very 125 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.519 particularly busy day, as I already mentioned, it was filled 126 00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:01.319 with patrons, which made Martin's next move all the more horrifying. 127 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:05.680 As he was finishing up his food, Martin reached into 128 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.879 the sports style duffelbag and he brought out what he 129 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:12.240 had grabbed from the car. It was an AR fifteen 130 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.839 semi automatic assault rifle. 131 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.439 Oh Man yes. 132 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.879 With the rifle now in his hands, Martin stood up, 133 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.920 turned to the table beside him, presumably some of the 134 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.439 individuals he was just making a small talk with brutal 135 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:35.079 and began firing at them. Holy shit, without a moment 136 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:39.319 to react. Mo Yi Nig and Sue Leng Chung, who 137 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.920 were visitors from Malaysia, found themselves at Martin's first or 138 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.399 as Martin's first victims of the day, as they were 139 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.759 shot and killed right there in the cafe. As they 140 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:52.759 laid there, their blood spilling out under the ground, Martin 141 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:58.720 then began his horrific rampage onto others. He continued firing 142 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.600 his rifle at any one he saw inside the cafe. 143 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.600 He fired a shot at Mixed Sergeant and the bullet 144 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:06.800 just grazed his scalp and knocked him to the floor. 145 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:10.720 Martin then shot Mick Sergeant's girlfriend right in front of him, 146 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.279 twenty one year old Kate Elizabeth Scott, hitting her in 147 00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:16.759 the back of the head, killing her instantly. 148 00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:17.680 Geez. 149 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:21.360 The rampage continued, and he did not discriminate between any 150 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:25.079 of the people he saw. Anthony Nightgale forty four, stood 151 00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.600 up and shouted no, not here, and he was fatally 152 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:32.519 shot by Martin, who hit him in the neck and spine. 153 00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:36.039 Martin also shot sixty eight year old Kevin Vincent Sharp, 154 00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.840 who was killed instantly. Another shot struck sixty six year 155 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.600 old Walter Bennett, passing through him and hitting a man 156 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:46.000 behind him by the name of Raymond John Sharp sixty seven, 157 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:52.159 killing both men. Bullets continued to fly, striking, killing and 158 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:55.919 injuring more victims. Some turned to run, and others hit 159 00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.240 under the tables or attempted to shield others from certain death. 160 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:04.720 The list of victims Martin affected is far too long 161 00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:07.600 to cover in this podcast, so for the sake of brevity, 162 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:10.559 we will cover all of those names whose lives were 163 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:15.200 lost at the end of this episode. What gets me 164 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:17.759 the most, though, is how it seems Martin did not 165 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:21.360 care who he was killing. Already said he didn't discriminate. No, 166 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:23.960 and this also includes children. 167 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:27.279 Oh shit, okay, Like, what the fuck is happening here? 168 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.960 Martin fired at a family inside the cafe where Graham Colier, 169 00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:36.399 Carolyn Lawton, and her daughter Sarah were seated. Colier was 170 00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:39.519 shot in the jaw. Carolyn tried to protect her daughter, 171 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:45.000 but Martin shot Carolyn in the back, rupturing her ear drum. Tragically, 172 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.840 Sarah was fatally shot in the head despite her mother's efforts. 173 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:53.000 Sarah was fifteen years old. Oh my gosh, Wow, the 174 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.399 events inside the cafe unfolded within a matter of approximately 175 00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.159 fifteen seconds. Seriously, everything I just sa described was only 176 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.039 fifteen seconds it took for that to occur, Holy shit, 177 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.519 during which Martin had fired a total of seventeen shots, 178 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:15.519 killing twelve people and wounding ten others. Fifteen seconds, killed 179 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:19.360 twelve people in fifteen seconds. 180 00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:23.200 Wha. That is honestly just mind blowing. Like, did even 181 00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:27.720 try to comprehend that, just as it just seems so impossible. 182 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.639 Those fifteen seconds. I bet you felt like fifteen fucking minutes. 183 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.960 I cannot imagine being in there. That would have been 184 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:33.720 scary as shit. 185 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.919 Well, yeah, just like this perse like, uh, it's such 186 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.360 you would just never think that that would happen, Right, 187 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:42.840 if you're out there enjoying like a nice day or 188 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:46.759 whatever and a coffee and then oh, like that is 189 00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.240 this fucking nightmare. 190 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.919 Yeah, it's the last thing you would expect, especially from 191 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:52.480 someone like I said, who's just at the table next 192 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:54.840 to you, just enjoying a meal, having small talk with you, 193 00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:57.039 being like, oh, yeah, there's a lot of less Japanese 194 00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.320 tourists this year. I wonder if you know, they maybe 195 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:01.159 were sending boat a little bit later or something in 196 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:04.399 the season. Who knows, right, yeah, and then all of 197 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:06.480 a sudden he pulls out an AR fifteen and just 198 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:08.639 unloads on you, like what the fuck? 199 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:12.480 You wouldn't even have a minute to comprehend it or thing? 200 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:14.879 No, I don't done. I have a feeling there are 201 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.480 some individuals who that did pass away who did not. 202 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:21.399 Know, yeah anything, what even was happening? 203 00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:24.120 Yeah, they were there one moment and then they weren't. 204 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.240 They weren't. So from the cafe, Martin then moved on 205 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.279 to the gift shop. Many who were there used the 206 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.159 time from the initial bullet firing. 207 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:34.759 He's not done. 208 00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:37.000 Oh no, he's just getting started. 209 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.440 Oh shoot, I thought we were okay. 210 00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:41.960 No, that was the first fifteen seconds. 211 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.200 Holy I thought that was like fifteen seconds and done 212 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:46.759 kind of thing. Move on here. 213 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.360 Nope. He moved on to the gift shop, and those 214 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.240 who were in the gift shop used the time those 215 00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:55.200 fifteen seconds to try and hide under the tables behind 216 00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:58.039 shop displays whatever they could, but it was no use. 217 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.320 He immediately fatally shot two local women who worked in 218 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.480 the gift shop, seventeen year old Nicholas are Sorry Nicole 219 00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.600 Burgess in the head and twenty six year old Elizabeth 220 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.039 Howard in the arm and chest. Some tried to make 221 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.320 a run for it, but Martin didn't care and fired 222 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:17.159 his rifle right into the back as they tried to run. 223 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.279 For a brief moment, Martin turned his attention back to 224 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.519 the cafe, where he shot a man by the name 225 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.200 of Peter who was trying to hide under a table. 226 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.399 In this moment, a man by the name of Jason 227 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.200 Winter thought Martin had left the room because he had 228 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.039 turned his attention back to the cafe. Thinking this was 229 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:38.039 an opportunity to escape and move out into the open, 230 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:42.399 he tried to make a run. Martin, however, was standing 231 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:46.960 right there and saw Jason stand up immediately. Jason's last 232 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:53.120 words were allegedly no, no, as Martin opened fired on him, 233 00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:57.559 with bullets hitting his hand which was out in a 234 00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:02.600 defensive position, ye his neck, chest, and finally a fatal 235 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:06.360 one in the head. The sequence of events that followed 236 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.519 is not entirely clear. As many of those who were 237 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:12.679 present did not survive to tell their experience, but at 238 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:16.279 some point Martin reloaded his weapon. He returned to the 239 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.879 cafe before heading back to the gift shop. There he 240 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:23.480 fatally shot Ronald Jerry, Peter Nash, and Pauline Masters. He however, 241 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:28.279 did not see Carolyn Nash lying hidden beneath her deceased 242 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:32.600 husband Peter, and went unnoticed by Martin. 243 00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:37.279 Oh my goodness, holy shit. 244 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.159 Yeah. So in the midst of that reloading, he left 245 00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:44.240 an empty magazine on the counter and then finally exited 246 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:48.240 the building. In the cafe and gift shop combined, he 247 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:53.519 fired twenty nine shots, killed twenty people and wounded twelve more. 248 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:56.879 Martin then headed towards the parking lot in front of 249 00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.279 the cafe building, and seeing the armed men approaching, people 250 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:04.039 started running and trying to hide. Now, initially, the security 251 00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:08.279 guard who saw this happen, heard the shots start and 252 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:10.879 went running up there, thinking there was like an electrical problem, Like, 253 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:12.960 who would have thought that it was bullets. 254 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.600 Yeah, your mind would just kind of think that it's 255 00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:16.159 something else. 256 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.440 So he thought there was like electrical pops happening, it's 257 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.759 shortening out, And then he saw the firing happening, and 258 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:26.120 then he bolted away trying to get other people to safety, 259 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:29.840 get out of here, run. But initially people thought this 260 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.919 was like some sort of like reenactment or like some 261 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:35.960 sort of like show that was being put on, So 262 00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:42.679 it took him a bit to get people to get moving. No, yes, okay, 263 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.080 And I read an article where that security supervisor or 264 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.440 manager was questioning if he should have gone into the 265 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.360 cafe to try and like take out Martin because hindsight 266 00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.320 what he ended up doing. He's like, if only I 267 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.240 could have taken him out, maybe it would have played 268 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.600 out different. But I mean, I don't I don't think 269 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:07.000 he could have done anything. You have a man with 270 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:08.600 an era of fifteen, he would have seen. 271 00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:11.919 He would have just honestly gotten shot instantly. 272 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:14.600 Yeah, I agree, So I don't think he needs to 273 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:17.919 second guess anything he did. I'm pretty sure he probably 274 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:21.159 did save some lives by rallying people to move them on. Yeah, 275 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:22.720 so props to him for doing that. 276 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:27.559 Yeah, but that's such a terrible feeling though, Hey, like 277 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:29.919 where you think that you you should have done something 278 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:30.960 else or could have done. 279 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.879 Regret for sure, But I don't think he should have 280 00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:37.320 no regrets, because I guarantee you he did save lives 281 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:37.799 that day. 282 00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:38.960 Yeah. 283 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:42.080 So Martin exited the building and headed towards the parking 284 00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:45.480 lot in front of the cafe, and people were running 285 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:48.279 and trying to hide seeing him approach. Among them was 286 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:51.720 Royce Thompson, a bus driver. Martin shot Thompson in the 287 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.159 back as he moved along the passenger side of the bus. 288 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:57.919 Although Thompson managed to crawl under the bus to hide, 289 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:02.480 he ultimately succumbed to his injuries, and chaos erupted as 290 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:06.759 people desperately sought cover among the park tourist buses. Aware 291 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.240 of their strategy, Martin circled around the buses until he 292 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:14.039 found a group of people seeking refuge. Just as before, 293 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.200 he began firing at the group, further adding to the 294 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:22.679 growing list of casualties. Everything continued, but eventually Martin made 295 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:25.559 his way back to his car to exchange his rifle 296 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:28.960 for another, this time an L one A one self 297 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:32.000 loading rifle. He turned back and picked up where he 298 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.000 left off. He shot a woman by the name of 299 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.559 Janet Quinn in the back and then chased after her husband, 300 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.080 Neville Quinn. Martin shot at him at least twice before 301 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:43.559 Quinn ran onto a bus in a desperate attempt to 302 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:49.200 find cover from the bullets. Martin, however, followed him. Once 303 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:53.440 on the bus, he pointed the gun in nevill Quinn's face, saying, quote, 304 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:55.840 no one gets away from me. 305 00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:01.240 Okay, I'm like shocked that he actually went like he would. 306 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:03.639 It seemed like he kind of just like zoned in 307 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:07.519 on people and then they were his next target and 308 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:10.160 they finished, and he finished them and then went on 309 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:11.920 to the next. 310 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:13.240 Just whoever he saw. He's like, yeah, I'm going to 311 00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:14.519 kill you. Yeah, I'm going to kill you. 312 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:16.440 But I feel like, yeah, like that when I'm surprised 313 00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:18.319 he went on the bus after him and didn't just 314 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:20.920 like move on to someone that was easier or whatever. 315 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:24.480 Right, I'm not too sure why, but he definitely honed 316 00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:27.359 in on Neville and like I said, his quote, no 317 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:31.480 one gets away from me disgusting. Now, After Martin was 318 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:34.480 finished in the parking lot near the buses, he headed 319 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:36.880 back to his car and drove towards the exit of 320 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.559 the historical site. Ahead of him in the middle of 321 00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:44.559 the road was a woman by the name of Nanette mccac. 322 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:50.400 She was with her two children, Madeline, who was three 323 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:55.160 and Elena, who was six. Nnette was trying to make 324 00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:57.839 a run from the horrors of what was assuing in 325 00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:01.400 an attempt to save her two children lives. She was 326 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:05.720 carrying Madeline and Elena was running slightly ahead. By this point, 327 00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:08.720 they had run approximately six hundred meters from the parking lot, 328 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:13.079 only to have Martin pull up right behind them. He 329 00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:17.119 slowed down and opened his door. Nenette didn't panic or 330 00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:19.920 find herself screaming in fear, though, and stead she moved 331 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.599 towards the car because she thought the driver was another 332 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:25.519 person who was trying to escape and was stopping to 333 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:29.680 offer her and her children help. Instead of help, though, 334 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.000 she found herself face to face with a monster. As 335 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.279 Martin stepped out of the car, A gun was pointed 336 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:40.480 directly at Nnette, and Martin told her to get to 337 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:42.920 her knees. She had no other choice but to do 338 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:46.240 as he said, hoping and praying that she would find 339 00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:50.759 mercy once in the ground. She didn't find mercy, though. 340 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:53.359 Martin held the gun up to her temple and pulled 341 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:57.079 the trigger, killing Thennette instantly, with her two little girls watching. 342 00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:00.839 He then turned his attention to them and faintly shot 343 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:04.359 both the girls, three year old Madeline and six year 344 00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:05.119 old Lena. 345 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:11.039 Good God, what a frickin monster. I didn't expect that 346 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:12.599 to play out like that For some reason. 347 00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:17.440 You thought it was done after the cafe, and here 348 00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:19.440 we are. He's still going like. 349 00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:24.759 Where like we're at. I'm a lot of victims, Holly. 350 00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:29.440 Martin got back in his car and continued to drive 351 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:32.000 up the up to the toll booth, and at the 352 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:36.279 exit he exited the historical site, where there were several 353 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:39.240 vehicles at the exit. Though here Martin shot and killed 354 00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:43.480 a few more people, including Nixon and Helen Salzman. He 355 00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:46.039 pulled their lifeless bodies from the BMW vehicle that they 356 00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:51.640 were driving and transferred his belongings into the car, including ammunition, handcuffs, 357 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:55.400 the AR fifteen rifle he started with, and the fuel container. 358 00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:59.200 Martin then drove to a service station at the front 359 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:01.880 of Port Arthur Jen Store, where he blocked the exit 360 00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:06.400 of a white Toyota Corolla attempting to merge onto the highway. 361 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.640 Glenn Peers was the man driving that car, with his 362 00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:15.279 girlfriend Zoe Hall in the pasture seat. Martin swiftly exited 363 00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:17.920 his vehicle, armed with the rifle and attempted to pull 364 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:23.079 Hall from the Corolla. Glenn got out and approached Martin, 365 00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:26.519 who then pointed the gun directly at him, forcing him 366 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:29.319 backwards before locking him into the trunk of the B 367 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:32.599 and W. He now had a hostage. 368 00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:34.759 Yeah. 369 00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:38.079 Martin returned to the passenger side of the Corolla, where 370 00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:39.960 Hall was trying to move in the driver's seat. He 371 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:43.960 raised his rifle and fired three shots, killing her instantly. 372 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:49.319 And her girl or her boyfriend is in the trunk 373 00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:53.759 hearing this correct? Huh, Yeah, and I'm sure he knows 374 00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:54.880 exactly what happened. 375 00:20:55.200 --> 00:21:00.440 I'm assuming he probably did. Martin hopped back into the 376 00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:03.240 driver's seat of his vehicle and made his way to 377 00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:08.240 his destination, a place called Seascape Cottage. This place was 378 00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:10.440 a bed and breakfast, and it would soon be location 379 00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:14.759 where Martin would be at a standoff with authorities. As 380 00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:17.799 Martin parked his car and made his way into the Seascape, 381 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:21.920 he would shoot at several passing by vehicles. Thankfully, at 382 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:25.279 this point no one was killed, but there were injuries. 383 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.079 Inside the bed and Breakfast, he handcuffed his captive hostage, Glen, 384 00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.799 to the banister of the stairs inside the home. By 385 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.200 this time, police who were notified of the horrific shootings, 386 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:39.680 had made their way to the scene of where it 387 00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:42.680 all started, and now we're on their way to the 388 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:46.599 Seascape cottage as well. It didn't take long for them 389 00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:50.480 to have the place completely surrounded, but of course they 390 00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:52.400 did not want to advance on the cottage with an 391 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:57.039 armed man and a hostage inside. In fact, it could 392 00:21:57.119 --> 00:21:59.839 be more than just one hostage. The owners of the 393 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.240 and Breakfast were not able to be located, which meant 394 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:06.079 there was a good chance they too were being held 395 00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:07.839 by Martin m HM. 396 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:09.519 So three potential hostages. 397 00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:14.599 That potentially three hostages inside. So what they tried to 398 00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:17.519 do was talk and negotiate with Martin, but their efforts 399 00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:21.160 never seemed to really get them anywhere. Allegedly, Martin would 400 00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:24.000 talk about how he went surfing that day and didn't 401 00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:26.079
