- Mark Orrin Barton was a spree killer from Stockbridge, Georgia, who, on July 29, 1999, shot and killed 9 people and injured 13 more. The shootings occurred at two Atlanta day trading firms, Momentum Securities and the All-Tech Investment Group. It is believed that Barton, a daytrader, was motivated by $105,000 USD in losses over the previous two months. Four hours after the Atlanta shootings, Barton committed suicide at a gas station in Acworth, Georgia. He had been spotted by police and was ordered to stop, but shot and killed himself before the police could reach him. Following the shootings, police searching Barton's home found that his second wife and two children (Leigh Ann Vandiver Barton, Matthew David Barton, and Mychelle Elizabeth Barton) had been murdered by hammer blows before the shooting spree; the children had then been placed in bed, as if sleeping. According to a note Barton left at the scene, his wife was killed July 27, and the children murdered July 28. Prior to the massacre, Barton had been a suspect in the 1993 beating deaths of his first wife, Debra Spivey, and her mother, Eloise Spivey, in Cherokee County, Alabama. Although he was never charged in either of the crimes - and though the note he left with the bodies of his children and his second wife denied any involvement in the 1993 murders - he is still considered a suspect in those murders by authorities.
- アトランタ銃乱射事件(アトランタじゅうらんしゃじけん)とは、1999年にアメリカ合衆国アトランタで起こった、デイトレーダーによる銃乱射事件。 1999年7月29日、巨額の損失を逆恨みしたデイトレーダーの男性(当時44歳)が、アメリカの2つの株取引会社に乱入し、銃を発砲し9人を射殺、12人に重軽傷を負わせた。また、彼は妻子3人もその前に自宅アパートで殺害していた。彼はその後、自らを銃で撃ち自殺した。 定職につかないデイトレーダーの犯行として、デイトレードが「大きな危険と隣り合わせ」という事を、世間に知らしめた事件である。当時のアメリカでは、デイトレードの人気が過熱し、破産する人が続出しており、社会問題になっていた。
