1985 Springfield Mall shooting
On October 30, 1985, a mass shooting took place at the Springfield Mall, a shopping mall in Springfield Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United States. Three people, including a toddler, were killed and seven others injured. The perpetrator, 25-year-old Sylvia Seegrist, was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences. Due to Seegrist’s history of mental illness and earlier diagnosis of schizophrenia, the shooting stimulated discussion about the state's authority to commit at-risk people into mental care facilities against their will.
