Bruce A. Jacobson, a 32-year-old equipment technician, was one of the victims killed on July 12, 1976, in the mass shooting at California State University, Fullerton. The attack took place in the university library, where custodian Edward Charles Allaway used a semi-automatic rifle and killed seven people while wounding two others.

Allaway fled after the shooting and was later arrested. He was charged with multiple counts of murder; his defense argued not guilty by reason of insanity and the court found him not guilty by reason of insanity, committing him to a state mental hospital. His later petitions for release have been denied because of concerns about his mental state and the danger he might pose.

Jacobson is remembered among the seven victims of one of Orange County’s most tragic events. Does anyone have memories of Bruce Jacobson or information about the university’s memorials for the victims?
