The solution to 1984 is 1973!

The shooter is what the Malay would call an Amok. It is from this word that the English expression "run amok" comes from (malaysia is one the many places the Brits spent some time governing). An Amok is a suicidal person determined to take some other people out with him as he goes. In Malaysia the murder weapon is usually a knife, machete or cleaver but of course a gun is just a better knife. USians can console themselves with the fact that they are not the only people in the world afflicted with Amoks.
