On December 8, 2020, in Williamsburg, West Virginia, United States, 25-year-old Oreanna Myers shot and killed five children, aged between one and seven, with a shotgun before setting her house on fire and committing suicide. Myers was the biological mother of three of the children, and the stepmother of the other two. It is the worst mass shooting in West Virginia history alongside the rampage of Mark Storm in 1997.
