Seth Privacky
Seth Privacky (June 2, 1980 – July 15, 2010) was an American mass murderer who shot his parents, brother, his brother's girlfriend and his grandfather in Muskegon, Michigan on November 29, 1998, at the age of 18. He pled no contest and was convicted of five counts of murder and firearm charges. A friend, also 18, was charged with helping Privacky after the crimes but was acquitted at trial.
On July 15, 2010, Privacky was shot and killed during a failed prison escape attempt at Kinross Correctional Facility in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Privacky and two other inmates overpowered the driver of a facilities semi-truck around 9:10 a.m. (ET) and tried to drive it through the double fence. Guards from the prison quickly apprehended two of the inmates, but Privacky tried to flee the truck once it stopped and was shot dead. All three attempted escapees were serving murder sentences.[1]
