On January 16, 2002, Lewis Anthony Sutin, 42, the dean of the Appalachian School of Law in Grundy, Virginia, was shot and killed inside his office. A Harvard Law School graduate and former senior Justice Department official, Sutin had moved to the region to help expand legal services in Appalachia.

The shooter was identified as Peter Odighizuwa, a 43-year-old student who had reportedly been dismissed from the school. Odighizuwa entered the dean’s office armed with a semi-automatic pistol and shot Sutin at point-blank range in what has been described as an execution-style killing. He went on to fatally shoot Professor Thomas Blackwell and student Angela Dales, 33, and wounded three other students.

Students wrestled Odighizuwa to the ground and held him until police arrived; he was taken into custody and charged with three counts of premeditated murder, three counts of attempted murder, and six counts of unlawful weapon use. If anyone knew Dean Sutin or was at the law school that day, does any detail from that morning stand out to you?
