Tragedy in Bursley
Two students killed in North Campus dorm in 1981

April 17, 1981 marked one of
the darkest days in University
history.
By the end of the day, two
students were shot dead and
another was in police custody.
Leo Kelly, a 22-year-old psy-
chology major, threw several
Molotov cocktail fire bombs
down the sixth floor of Bursley
Residence Hall's Douglas wing
around dawn that morning.
The bombs ignited numerous
fires and triggered the build-
ing's fire alarm.
Kelly then returned to his
room and retrieved a shotgun,
which he fired at fleeing stu-
dents.
Witnesses said Kelly fired
between two and five shots
from the sawed-off shotgun,
killing two students.
Freshman Edward Siwik was
shot in the upper right chest. He

died later at the University Hos-
pital. Another student, resident
adviser Douglas McGreaham,
was shot in the back. He died
after emergency surgery at St.
Joseph Hospital.
Police described Kelly as
"calm" and "coherent" when
they found him sitting on his
bed.
Kelly was a member of Omega
Psi Phi fraternity, which was
implicated in another, non-
fatal shooting in Bursley the
previous month.
Many students said they felt
"numb" after the shooting, and
were hesitant to return to their
dorm rooms.
Then-University President
Harold Shapiro described the
shooting as a "horrible trag-
edy."
Kelly was arraigned the next
day in Washtenaw County's

Douglas Hall of Bursley Hall, where Leo Kelly murdered two fel-
low students on the sixth floor in 1981.
