Ruth Ann Steinhagen was a 19-year-old typist for an insurance agency. She had planned to stab Eddie Waitkus, but he came in quickly and sat down. She went to the closet and got a .22 rifle.
She told him, "I have a surprise for you." She trained the gun on him and told him to stand up and move to the window. "For two years you've been bothering me, and now you're going to die."
Then she shot him.
She was arrested and charged with assault with intent to murder.
Less than three weeks afterwards, a judge declared her insane and committed her to a psychiatric hospital where she spend three years and was released.
