Paul Frederick Herzberg, 30, was killed on July 12, 1976, in the mass shooting at California State University, Fullerton. Herzberg, a college photographer, was one of seven people shot and killed inside the campus library during the attack that became known as the Fullerton Massacre.

The shooter, Edward Charles Allaway, a university custodian, was taken into custody and charged with multiple counts of murder. At trial he was found not guilty by reason of insanity and committed to a psychiatric hospital; the court cited a long history of mental illness, including paranoid schizophrenia. Allaway has since participated in repeated hearings and has made efforts to secure release, which have been opposed by victims’ families and the community.

The killings devastated the campus and prompted civil litigation by the victims’ families. Does anyone have memories of Paul Herzberg or information about his life and work at the university?
