Chris Shelton

Chris Shelton was the mass murderer of the Somerville Military Academy massacre, which took the lives of 5 cadets, and attempted to kill another. He appeared in flashbacks in Season Seven of Criminal Minds.

History
He sent his son Bailey to Somerville Military Academy to learn disciple, he was however unaware of the constant bulling going on their. When his son committed suicide a fellow student named Josh Redding brought Bailey's stuff to him while he mourned his loss. He was told by Colonel Ron Massey, the leader of the academy, that Josh was responsible for his son's suicide and he planed with Chris how to get his revenge. Chris however read his son's journal and found out about the constant bulling done at Massey's request and took his revenge to the next level. When he was texted the location by Lieutenant Shockley Tawes of where the boys were camping he killed the five boys who bullied his son as a message to Massey and then craved the message "We're Sorry" under Tucker Calhoun's body. He then proceeded to kill Josh but Josh fought back and got away. Josh was able to outsmart him and lured him into a pit trap where he was intern killed.

Profile
Chris wasn't profiled because the BAU was more focused on Josh. But it was stated that he killed the boys with the same method his son committed suicide to send a message to Colonel Massey. That you took my son away from me, now I'm going to take yours away from you.

Modus Operandi
Chris copies the method in which his son committed to kill the boys he feels are responsible. He strangles them to death and then stages it like a suicide from a tree with a hangman's knot.
