Howard Anderton

Howard Anderton was a member of the Children of the Promised Land cult and a mass murderer.

Background, Mass Murder and Suicide
At some point in his life, Anderton joined a cult named Children of the Promised Land, developing into one of its most devoted and fanatical followers. He was later asked by the cult's leader, Warren Elron, to kill councilman Leland Cutler and his entourage, as they were investigating allegations of brainwashing and abuses within the cult. Anderton, along with four other followers, attracted Cutler and his staff inside an abandoned warehouse, where they killed them all by shooting. As ordered, shortly thereafter he and his crew committed suicide by drinking cyanide.

Modus Operandi
Anderton and his crew employed automatic weapons to kill Cutler and his entourage.
