 George Banks, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, man who killed his family in 1982, dies in prison

COLLEGEVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA - George E. Banks, a former prison guard from Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, who killed 13 members of his family in a 1982 shooting spree, has died at a state prison in Montgomery County. He was 83.

The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections confirmed that Banks died of natural causes at the Correctional Institution — Phoenix, near Philadelphia. On September 25, 1982, Banks fatally shot five of his children and other relatives at homes in Wilkes-Barre and Jenkins Township, shocking the local community and marking the day as one of tragedy and horror.

Banks was convicted by a jury and originally sentenced to death, but the sentence was later overturned after he was declared mentally incompetent, with his lawyer asserting that he was insane at the time of the killings.
