John Van Dyke, 41, owner of Comet Auto Parts in Chicago, was fatally shot inside his West Side store at 1334 South Ashland Avenue on September 22, 1988. Married and a father of five, Van Dyke was one of several victims during a morning shooting spree that began at his shop and moved across the street to Moses Montefiore School.

The assailant, identified as 40-year-old Clemmie Henderson, entered the auto parts store armed with multiple firearms and fatally shot Van Dyke and employee Robert Quinn, 26. Henderson then shot Arthur Baker, a 34-year-old school custodial worker, and wounded 35-year-old city garbage collector Laplose Chestnut. Inside the school, Officer Irma Ruiz, 40, was killed and her partner, Officer Greg Jaglowski, was seriously wounded; Jaglowski returned fire and killed Henderson, ending the attack. No arrests followed because the shooter died at the scene; reported descriptions called him mentally unstable.

Are there readers who remember the neighborhood or the school that morning and can add details about the victims or the community impact?
