July 29, 1999 BARTON Mark Orrin Barton was a a daytrader and a spree killer from Stockbridge, USA who on July 29, 1999 killed 12 people and injured 13 more. The shootings occurred at two Atlanta firms - Momentum Securities and All-Tech Investment Group. It is believed that Barton was motivated by US$ 105 000 in losses over the previous 2 months. On July 29 he went to the offices of his employer - Momentum Securities. Witnesses say that Barton briefly chatted with coworkers before suddenly pulling out 2 pistols and opening fire. He shot and killed 4 people. Then he walked to the nearby All-Tech Investment Group, murdered an additional 5 victims and left the scene before police arrive. 4 hours after the All-Tech Investment Group shooting Barton accosted and threatened a young girl in Kennesaw, Georgia apparently attempting to secure a hostage for his escape. The attempt was unsuccessful and the girl called police after escaping Barton. Responding police officers spotted Barton in his van and a chase ensued culminating at a gas station in Acworth, Georgia. Unable to escape Barton ducked behind his van and committed suicide with his pistol. Following the shootings police searching Barton's home found that his second wife Leigh Ann Vandiver Barton and 2 children - Matthew (12) and Mychelle (10) had been murdered by hammer blows before the shooting spree. The children had then been placed in bed as if sleeping. According to a note Barton left at the scene his wife was killed July 27 and the children murdered next day. Prior to the massacre Barton had been a suspect in the 1993 beating deaths of his first wife Debra Spivey and her mother Eloise Spivey. Although he was never charged for either of the crimes - and though the note he left with the bodies of his children and his second wife denied any involvement in the 1993 murders - he is still considered a suspect in those murders by authorities.

After the deaths of his first wife and her mother, who were both found bludgeoned, Mark Barton, 44, married his second wife in 1995, as well as having two children from his previous marriage. Mark was a prime suspect in the murders, but due to the lack of evidence, no charges were filed against him. 

While his wife slept on the morning of July 27, 1999, Mark bludgeoned Leigh Ann, 27, to death. On July 28th during the night, Mark beat his two children, Matthew Barton, 11, and Mychelle Barton, 8, to death. Each body was covered and multiple notes were left. In the notes, Mark denied killing his first wife, told the reason behind the murders, as well as saying that he loved his family. Towards the end of a note read, “I don't plan to live very much longer, just long enough to kill as many of the people that greedily sought my destruction. You should kill me if you can.” 

On July 29th, Mark, a day trader, went to the place where he worked and greeted his coworkers with small talk before opening fire, killing four people. He walked to another building close by, All-Tech Investment Group, where he killed five more people. A witness at All-Tech supposedly heard Mark say, “I hope this doesn't upset your trading day” before he opened fire. When the police arrived, Mark had already left the scene. While on the lookout for Mark, the police searched his house, where they discovered the bodies of his family. 

After five hours, police managed to find Mark in his van, leading up to a chase. Before the police could get to him, Mark committed suicide at a gas station; making himself his last victim and ending the rampage.
