HISTORY REPEATS: San Diego Shooting Echoes Forgotten 1916 Bath School Pattern

SAN DIEGO — As investigators piece together Wednesday’s mass shooting, historians are pointing to a chilling historical pattern: the attack mimics the rarely-discussed 1916 Bath School disaster in both motive and method. Sources say the shooter, like Bath perpetrator Andrew Kehoe, left a manifesto fixating on “perceived community betrayal” and targeted a public gathering space after engineering a secondary diversion. “This is the same psychological skeleton as Kehoe—a methodical grievance collector who views violence as civic correction,” says Dr. Amelia Voss, a historical criminologist. “We keep calling these ‘unprecedented,’ but history gave us the blueprint a century ago. We just refused to read it.”
