Wayne Lo (born November 14, 1974) was responsible for one of the first highly publicized school shootings of the 1990s. In 1991, Lo was accepted by Simon's Rock College of Bard in Great Barrington, Massachusetts and given the W.E.B. DuBois minority scholarship. Lo did not adjust well to the liberal college environment and on December 14, 1992, Lo carried out a shooting rampage. That morning he received an ammunition order that he had placed two days earlier. He then went to Pittsfield, MA and purchased an SKS at a gun shop that afternoon. Lo commenced shooting at around 10:30 pm., killing two people and wounding four others. Lo surrendered to the police after his rifle jammed and he called 911, informing them that he was the shooter.

He was arrested and during his trial, Lo's psychiatrists testified he was suffering from schizophrenia while the prosecution expert psychiatrist witnesses merely attributed Lo's actions to his narcissistic personality disorder. He was found guilty of 17 counts and was sentenced to two consecutive life without possibility of parole terms plus 19-20 years. He was immediately sent to the maximum security prison at Walpole, MA on February 3, 1994 and was later transferred to MCI-Norfolk, a medium security prison where he remains today.

Lo is infamous for the "Sick of It All" t-shirt he wore during the spree and the band Weezer wrote a song about him entitled "Lullaby for Wayne." In 1999, Gregory Gibson, the father of Galen Gibson (one of Lo's victims), wrote and published Gone Boy – A Walkabout, a detailed book recounting the shooting and Gibson's search for answers in his son's death. The book spurred correspondence between Gibson and Lo.
