Hyderabad shooting
The Hyderabad shooting is one of the earliest documented cases of a mass shooting in world history.
On 24 June 1878, a Baloch sepoy in the British Indian Army killed 6 people and injured 4 in Sindh, British Raj. The unnamed Sepoy man killed his mistress whom he had suspected of infidelity. Armed with a Martini-Henry and 100 rounds of ammunition, he went on a shooting spree in Hyderabad. He shot anyone in his proximity, eventually suffering a gunshot wound caused by an officer armed with an Adams M1872 Mark III revolver.
