Nathaniel Tennosuke Berhow (November 14th, 2003 - November 15th, 2019) was an Japanese-American mass murderer responsible for the Saugus High School Shooting in Santa Clarita, California. On November 14, 2019 Berhow arrived to school before the start of classes with a .45 Caliber semiautomatic handgun and attempted to fire the pistol at students in the outside courtyard or quad.
Shooting
After firing one round, the pistol jammed. Prior to this Berhow managed to fix the gun and kill 2 while injuring 3 before turning the gun on himself. The entire shooting was only 16 seconds long. The weapon was later identified as a ghost gun assembled by a kit.
Response
The school's response to this shooting increased police security at the school and the school now holds 2 lockdown drills per year following a "Text-a-Tip" hotline for students to report suspicious behavior.
Early Life
Nathaniel's early life before the shooting could have encouraged him to commit the shooting. His father, Mark Berhow died in December 2017 from a heart attack and had a history of alcoholism. In 2016 before the death of Mark, Mami Matsuura (the mother of Nathaniel) sued Mark for the custody of the children.
