Jonesboro massacre
The Jonesboro school massacre occurred on Tuesday, March 24, 1998.
Four students and a teacher were killed by two armed middle school boys in northeastern Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Mitchell Johnson, 13, and Andrew Golden, 11, pulled a school fire alarm and fired into the crowd as people filed out of the Westside Middle School, killing four girls and a teacher, and wounding 11 others. In August 1998, they were both sentenced to confinement until they reached the age of 21, the maximum under Arkansas law.
