Repossessions: Mass Shooting in Baymeadows

by Tim Gilmore

On June 18, 1990, James Edward Pough walked into the GMAC auto loan office in Jacksonville, Florida and started shooting. The GMAC mass shooting was the worst in Florida history until the Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2016. In Mass Shooting in Baymeadows, Tim Gilmore presents the recollections and perspectives, in their own words, of survivors, victims' family members, first responders and other individuals connected to that horrible day. This nonfiction novella is the expansion and evolution of Gilmore's stage play produced by Florida State College at Jacksonville's DramaWORKS, the 50th production of DramaWORKS' director Kenneth McCullough.

Different than the types of books I normally read (this is classified as a nonfiction novella I guess?). I was interested in this book because I just moved to Jacksonville about 8 miles away from where this tragedy occurred in 1990. I liked all the first hand witness accounts from family of victims and survivors, however, the way the story was strung together was difficult to follow at times. Also, super small petty point, I hated how the author numbered the chapters. It was super strange and I’m still scratching my head as to why? (Example: chapter 21 would be titled “Twenty-1)
