The Uncle Albert’s Lounge massacre in Klamath Falls, Oregon, began in the early morning hours of July 23, 1977, when a man opened fire inside the bar. Among the six people killed was James L. Trueman, a 25-year-old White man from Kodiak, Alaska. The attack also wounded two others and included a pregnant woman among the dead.

The shooter was identified as DeWitt Charles Henry, 26, who had once worked as a bouncer at the lounge and reportedly had argued over a bar bill earlier that night before returning armed with a Colt AR-15 Sporter semi-automatic rifle. Henry had a prior negligent homicide conviction and was taken into custody after an exchange of gunfire with law enforcement.

What details about James Trueman’s life in Kodiak or his reasons for being in Klamath Falls that night might help build a clearer picture of his last hours?
