Atlanta Rewind: Mark Barton's 1999 Buckhead rampage
1 / 15
In July 1999, daytrader Mark Barton killed his wife and children before going on a shooting rampage first at his home and later at the Buckhead office complex where he worked, killing a total of nine people and wounding 13. Our photographers chronicled the day as it unfolded. Here, workers run from the scene of Barton's rampage at 3500 Piedmont Road. Official speculate that the motive for Barton's rampage stemmed from the fact that he had suffered $105,000 in losses over the previous two months daytrading. He started his rampage at his employer, Momentum Securities, and then continued his shooting spree at the nearby All Tech Investment Group.
