Cinderella Manager Shot

06/02/05
. (BW&BK) A 38-year-old man with a violent past went on a 16-hour rampage in Ventura County, killing three people � including a mother who was pistol-whipped in front of her children � and injuring five others before taking his own life Tuesday morning inside a Wal-Mart store, police said.

The deadly spree began Monday afternoon in an upscale neighborhood of Thousand Oaks when Toby Whelchel ran up the driveway of attorney Steve Mazin's home and opened fire, killing Mazin, 52, wounding the attorney's best friend and killing the friend's wife. Authorities and witnesses said Whelchel appeared at Mazin's home Monday about 4 p.m. and attacked without warning. Mazin was standing in his driveway as two longtime friends, Jan Heyne, 50, and her husband, Tim Heyne, a 51-year-old manager of rock bands, returned a boat that they had borrowed for a weekend trip to Big Bear.

Tim Heyne "was in the driveway, and some guy came running up the driveway and Tim thought it was a prank," said Heyne's brother-in-law, Mike Baumann. "It just didn't register; he thought this guy was going to give Steve a big bear hug."

Instead, the man "pulled something out from under his arm and he shot Steve point-blank, and then turned it on Tim and shot him in the chest. Tim said it spun him all the way around," Baumann said. "He heard two more shots and managed to get back to his vehicle and call 911. Then he started to go back and saw Jan face down."
