November 9th: Ronald Baquiran Bae Born (1971) While stopping a dangerous gunman is first priority, it can sometimes end all chances for that man to stand trial for the crimes he committed. On November 9th 1971 a man was born who would commit a massacre in his neighborhood that ended in a police shootout. Because of this, he was never brought to justice for killing 8 during the shooting and, if his accomplice is right, other murders he may have commited beforehand.  https://murderpedia.org/male.B/b/bae-ronald-baquiran.htm, https://amok.fandom.com/wiki/Ronald_Bae#:~:text=Ronald%20Baquiran%20Bae%20was%20a,shot%20and%20killed%20by%20police., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawit_shooting, https://lifestyle.inquirer.net/92105/the-kawit-mass-shooting-who-is-ronald-bae/, https://www.facebook.com/TodayInHorrorHistory/posts/january-4-2013kawit-cavite-philippines-ronald-baquiran-bae-goes-on-a-shooting-sp/2501935376794089/ Learn more about your ad choices.
