  • Friedrich Heinz Leibacher (July 21, 1944 – September 27, 2001) was a Swiss spree killer who killed 14 members of the Zug canton Parliament, injuring 18 others, before committing suicide. Leibacher had been employed in business, and had several failed marriages to women from the Dominican Republic, of whom one produced a daughter. In 1970 he was convicted of fraud, public obscenity and obscene acts with children, and sentenced to 18 months detention. He served his sentence in a work-training institution. After leaving detention, Leibacher became unemployed. Doctors diagnosed a personality disorder and alcoholism and he received an invalidity pension. In 1998 he was convicted of threatening a bus driver employed by the Zug transport company. Leibacher was upset by his treatment, and wrote frequently to the authorities with letters of complaint. The passage of time did not diminish his grievance as Leibacher began to believe he was the target of a government conspiracy led by Robert Bisig, a Cantonal Minister. He sued Bisig but in September 2001 his actions were dismissed by the court. At 10:30 AM on September 27, 2001 Leibacher entered the Zug Parliament disguised as a police officer and armed with a pistol, a pump-action shotgun, and a rifle. He made his way to the Parliament chamber where he fired more than 90 shots randomly. Politicians and journalists alike were hit, although Robert Bisig escaped unscathed. Finally, Leibacher detonated a small home-made bomb, then shot himself. He left behind a suicide note describing his action as a "Day of rage for the Zug mafia".
  • Friedrich Leibacher oli sveitsiläinen joukkomurhaaja. Hän surmasi 14 Zugin parlamentin jäsentä, haavoitti kahdeksaatoista muuta ja teki lopuksi itsemurhan. Leibacher oli toiminut liikealalla ja solminut useita eroon päättyneitä avioliittoja, joista yhdestä hän sai tyttären. Vuonna 1970 Leibacher sai muutamista rikoksista kahdeksantoista kuukauden tuomion tarkkailun alaisena. Tuomion suoritettuaan Leibacher jäi työttömäksi. Hän kärsi persoonallisuushäiriöstä ja alkoholismista, ja miehelle alettiin myöntää työkyvyttömyyseläkettä. Vuonna 1998 hän sai tuomion linja-autonkuljettajan uhkailusta. Leibacher saapui 27. syyskuutta 2001 Zugin parlamenttiin poliisiksi naamioituneena. Hän oli aseistautunut, ja hän ampui yli 90 satunnaisesti kohdistettua laukausta. Lopuksi hän räjäytti pienen kotitekoisen pommin ja surmasi itsensä. Leibacher oli ilmeisesti suuttunut poliitikko Robert Bisigille, jonka uskoi olevan häntä vastaan suunnitellun "hallituksen salaliiton" takana. Hän oli yhä kuohuksissaan bussikuskin uhkailun jälkeen saamastaan kohtelusta. Bisig itse selvisi ammuskelusta vammoitta.
  • Il 27 settembre 2001, armato con un fucile d'assalto tipo SIG PE 90, fece irruzione nell'aula del parlamento del Canton Zugo aprendo il fuoco e uccidendo 14 persone (3 Gran Consiglieri e 11 deputati) e ferendone altre 15 prima di togliersi la vita a sua volta. La "strage di Zugo", così chiamata dai giornali, rappresenta il più tragico fatto di sangue avvenuto nella Svizzera moderna. Secondo le ricostruzioni la furia omicida venne scatenata da un contenzioso riguardante un ricorso amministrativo anche se già nel 1996 al soggetto era stato diagnosticato un disturbo della personalità con sospetto di alcolismo e demeza. Il fatto di sangue diede avvio ad una serie di dibattiti a livello nazionale riguardanti la sicurezza e l'accesso alle armi da fuoco. Molti altri parlamenti cantonali presero quasi subito provvedimenti per potenziare i controlli all'interno dei propri edifici. Quello di Zugo, infatti, non era dotato di particolari misure di sicurezza e al killer bastò camuffarsi da poliziotto per portare in aula un fucile semiautomatico e compiere una strage. A livello federale la disgrazia ha innescato una profonda riflessione sull'opportunità o meno di abolire la normativa che impone ai soldati svizzeri (e nel caso specifico si tratta di militi di un esercito a leva obbligatoria composto da i cittadini maschi ritenuti idonei al servizio) di conservare armi e munizioni in casa.
