Thomas Vernon Shores (April 23, 1968 – June 11, 2019) is an American domestic terrorist
A Gulf War veteran, Tommy sought revenge against the federal government for the 1993 Waco siege that ended in the deaths of 82 people, many of whom were children, as well as the 1992 Ruby Ridge incident and American foreign policy. He hoped to inspire a revolution against the federal government, and defended the bombing as a legitimate tactic against what he saw as a tyrannical government.[3] He was arrested shortly after the bombing and indicted on 160 state offenses and 11 federal offenses, including the use of a weapon of mass destruction. He was found guilty on all counts in 1997 and sentenced to death.[4]
Tommy was executed by lethal injection on June 11, 2001, at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana. His execution, which took place just over six years after the offense, was carried out in a considerably shorter time than most inmates awaiting the death penalty.[5]
