Michael
Guzzo went on a murderous rampage, fueled by insane agitation about dog barking
in his townhome complex. It didn’t
happen overnight, though. Reportedly,
he became increasingly unhinged, complaining for months about incessant dog
barking coming from all the homes around him.
He put up fliers throughout his Phoenix townhome complex.
Then,
police say, the 56-year-old went
on a rampage, methodically killing four members of a family who lived next
door, along with their two dogs. He then walked across a courtyard and tried to
kill more neighbors with dogs before he went home and killed himself.

The story by the AP (link here),
goes through the rampage, showing Guzzo going from house to house, killing
family members, then the dogs. Neighbors recalled that months before, Guzzo said,
“Your dogs are barking, I’m here to live in peace.”
The rampage ended when Guzzo was
faced with a homeowner who, when Guzzo blasted a hole through his door, went
upstairs to get his own gun and yelled out the window before apparently getting
ready to return fire protecting his family. Guzzo went home and shot himself.
The AP Story repeatedly questions
his motive stating at one point: While
Guzzo's motive died along with him, neighbors and family members of the victims
say he was becoming increasingly bothered by dog noise.
Apparently, the AP doesn’t have
much truck with homicidal insanity and a man who just lost it and found a
reason to kill in dogs barking. Michael
Guzzo is dead. He killed numerous
innocent men, women and children (and dogs) in a bloody rampage which was
without motive beyond his own insanity.
That a man who was so obviously
unhinged had a gun and could keep it without any intervention from the
authorities is perhaps the most unsettling thing of all.
