#117 - Woo Bum-kon & the Uiryeong Massacre

A former Marine, a sharp shooter with an impeccable record gets one of the most sought after posts in the police force after leaving the military.

His life starts to go off the rails and he gets posted to a location that he feels is a demotion, add to that he believes the locals look down on him and the simmering resentment and anger is always just below the surface until, one day, it explodes. 

Was an insect the spark that set the fire, or has it become the stuff of legends?

The spree killer you have probably never heard of.
