Lorraine E. Schultz

Lorraine Evelyn Schultz (January 14, 1928 – January 9, 1954) was a 25-year-old woman who, along with her mother, 46-year-old Edna B. Brown, was killed when she was shot in the face with a 16-gauge shotgun by her stalker, 34-year-old Walter S. Clark, at her home on Old Telegraph Road in Alexandria on January 9, 1954.[1][2][3]

Shultz had been a waitress some three years prior, and had developed a friendship with Clark, a cab driver. Clark had ingratiated himself with the family, but when his attentions to the young married woman became inappropriate, the friendship ended.[1]

At that point, the spurned Clark became menacing and began a campaign of escalating violence against Schultz and her family, which culminated in the January 9 attack.[1]

Shultz had been married to 31-year-old Herman J. Schultz for seven years and had two children, 4-year-old Herman, Jr. and 2-year-old Theresa. Both her husband and daughter were injured in Clark's rampage.[2]
