Th Atlanta Journal WEEKEND Tha Atlanta Constitution SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1988, Suspect in school shooting spree was 6a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' The Attocialed Prru WINNETKA, 111. Lori Wasserman Dann died alone Friday, barricaded in a house surrounded by police after a shooting spree that killed an 8-year-old child and those who knew her seemed to have known different people. "She was a sort of a Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, in that she had mood swinp up and down," said a former boyfriend, John Childs, 34 Some remembered her as a quiet, pret ty woman who loved children, others as an eccentric who spent hours riding elevators. And she had had earlier brushes with police in Illinois and Wisconsin. Ms. Dann, 30, "had her own idiosyncrasies," Childs mother, Alexdrandra, said.

Ms. Dann loved children, for example, but had "little compassion" for handicapped people, she said. Craig Bayless of Winnetka, a real estate broker, remembered Ms. Dann as "a fine babysitter" who looked after his daughter several times last summer. "We had no real problems at all.

Our daughter, who was 3 liked her just fine. She was a nice, quiet girl," Bayless said. Ms. Dann's parents, Norman and Edith Wasserman, who could not be reached for comment, live around the corner from the Childses in a large, white one-story ranch house in Glencoe, a North Shore suburb of about 9,000 residents, the nation's 20th-wealthiest suburb with a per capita income of $35,632 a year. Mrs.

Childs said Ms. Dann visited her Glencoe home about half a dozen times. "She was a pretty girl, intelligent but reticent, not very talkative," she said, recalling that Ms. Dann liked to play with her grandchildren. In Madison, Ms.

Dann was dubbed "the elevator woman" because she rode the elevator for extended periods night and day in the high-rise residence where she lived earlier this year, Keith Wilson said in a telephone interview with the Wisconsin State Journal Wilson lived across the hall from her in the building near the University of Wisconsin campus. School officials said they had no record of her as a student after 1977, and Wilson said he never saw her study. "She was always watching cartoons," he said. "Sometimes she'd wander the halls and try to open doors," said Wilson, who now lives in Los Angeles. -1 Shock, gloom hang over wealthy suburb after school rampage if Sf-' tfy y9 i Shootings From Page 1A The most seriously injured, Lindsay Clark Fisher, 8, underwent a massive transfusion to replace her entire blood supply.

Blood was pumped directly into her heart, hospital officials said. Ms. Dann, who recently moved1 from Madison, to her parents'! home in nearby Glencoe, worked asj a babysitter at a home several: blocks from the school. She had a history of emotional problems and was due to stand trial on shoplifting charges later this summer in Madison, according to police. She had also been arrested two years ago in neighboring Highland Park, 111., on charges of making harassing phone calls.

Before arriving at Hubbard Woods Elementary, Ms. Dann attempted to set fire to an elementary school, a day-care center and her: employers' house in Winnetka, where she barricaded a woman and two children in the basement before starting the blaze, police said. The violence ended after Ms. Dann made a phone call to her parents, during which she "indicated she had shot some people and she felt very sorry about it," according to Winnetka Police Chief Herbert Timm. Her motives were unclear, but she had learned recently that she was to lose her job because her employers, the family of Padraic Rush, were moving out of town.

Police said Ms. Dann first went to Ravinia Elementary School in Highland Park, north of Winnetka, where she started a small fire at about 9 a.m. No injuries were reported there. She next was spotted trying to enter a nearby day nursery with a can of gasoline, but was stopped by nursery staffers, according to a Highland Park police spokesman. She then went to the Rush family's home, where she started another fire.

Two of the Rush family's children and their mother were in the basement at the time, but they escaped through a window, police said. After leaving the Rush home, Ms. Dann drove the four blocks to Hubbard Woods Elementary, carry- ft mmm I v.W The Associated Prest WINNETKA, 111. The yellow police tape surrounding the sprawling one-story brick school provided a jarring note on the quiet tree-lined, sunny street with its comfortable homes. But the tranquility of this wealthy North Shore community already had been shattered by a shooting rampage that left an 8-year-old boy dead and five other children and an adult critically wounded.

The children were shot at Hubbard Woods Elementary School in a 15-minute assault by a woman Friday morning in a school restroom and in a second-grade classroom. School District 36 Superinten-tent Don Monroe, his shirt stained with blood, tried to reassure anxious parents who gathered outside, and the crowd dispersed quickly. "There were a lot of mothers trying to get to the school" immediately afterward, said a resident of the neighborhood, Anne Belmont "They're all crying on my front lawn," said another resident Phil Prange. "These things happen 2,000 miles away. They don't happen next door to you," said a third resident, Susan Bosler.

After the classroom shooting, the drama shifted to a nearby home, where a young man was shot and the suspect identified as 30-year-old Lori Dann, barricaded herself inside. Police found the woman dead after they stormed the house. "I just heard police surrounding the house, calling, 'Lori, let's get it over I didn't hear any response. Then I heard a shot a blast I would say," said Hildegard Ober-stoetter, a housekeeper at the house next door. Reporters were kept behind a police line.

Trees obscured the houses. Dozens of police officers waited in the street Squad cars came and went Village residents talked of little else. Teenagers sitting on cars in a local gas station were discussing the events, and a man sat in his garage listening to developments on a police radio. The boy's death was only the third slaying in his community since 1957, Winnetka Police Chief Herbert Timm said. "We never have a drill for something like this.

But we do have fire and tornado drills, so the kids were on the floor in the other classrooms" after the shooting, Monroe said. Standing outside the school at the end of the day, Jim Romey said his 7-year-old daughter, Katie, was in another classroom when the shooting occurred. "I'm relieved to hear our child is safe. It's a tragedy. It's just terrible for the family who lost their child," he said.

"The kids are calm," said his wife, Blanche, adding that school officials "told us to take them home and let them talk because they've been talked to a lot today." "The school system here is known for being fantastic, and they have handled this whole thing fantastically," Ms. Romey said. Hubbard Woods "is a fabulous school one of the best in the country. It's a family neighborhood," said Ms. Belmont, who lives nearby with two preschool children.

The shady suburb north of Chicago is nestled on the Lake Michigan shore and marked by large homes and comfortable incomes. A survey released last year by a Roosevelt University urbanologist ranked the community of 12,482 the nation's 22nd-wealthiest suburb, with an estimated per capita income of $35,406. Lori Dann, 30, was found dead after she went on a shooting ram', page at school, police said. ing three loaded handguns, police said. They said she entered the school, walked into a washroom where she shot one child, then into the second-grade classroom where she opened fire.

Desks and chairs went flying. Children tried to run out the door, while a substitute teacher stood in horror. Besides Nicholas Corwin and Lindsay Fisher, the victims included Peter Munro, 8, who suffered chest wounds; Mark Teborek, 8, wounded in the neck; Robert Tross-man, 6, injured in the chest, and Katheryn Anne Miller, 7, with wounds to the wrist and chest Police recovered a handgun from the bathroom, but Ms. Dann still had two other pistols with her, police said. She left in her car, drove several blocks and then ran to a house where she confronted Ruth Ann Andrew, her elderly father and her son, Philip.

There was a scuffle, during which Philip Andrew, 20, was shot in the chest, but he and the rest of the Andrew family managed to escape, taking one of Ms. Dann's guns with them, police said. Dozens of heavily armed, flak-jacketed police from several North Shore communities surrounded the home, while officials tried to ascertain that Ms. Dann was actually still inside. Timm said police were reluctant to storm the house in part because they feared she would blow up the house or set fire to it The Associated Press Parents nervously wait outside Hubbard Woods Elementary School in Winnetka, 111., on Friday for news about the shootings there.

The children were kept inside the school after the suspect left and were released in small groups throughout the day to ensure their safety. Hawks "And we've never had a painted face before," he added gs gaggles of youths roamed the aisles with faces covered in red-and-white lettering which defamed the Celtics as much as touted the Hawks. "Well, I SAY; we've never had a painted face. I've only been here 12 years, so don't go by me." Outside, in the plazas and the nearby MARTA station, ticket scalpers were asking as much as $500 for a rare pair of lower-level seats, face-valued at $30 each. In reasonably good supply on the street were upper-level seats, face-valued at $20 each and going for a consensus $75 each.

The best street deal found event since the Atlanta Falcons hosted the Dallas Cowboys in a National Football League playoff game on Jan. 4, 1981, and lost "We've never had such a collection of characters at one of our games before," Kasten said. "Did you see the guy in the dive-bomber outfit?" He gestured toward a man in helmet, goggles and cape, acknowledging the Hawks' promotional nickname, "Atlanta's Air Force." And then there was Betty Heifner, who had stayed up late Thursday night making a dress from a dozen "Rowdy Rag" promotional towels the Hawks had given away was four upper-level seats for $240. Inside, a fan strolled the sidelines with a banner reading, "Welcome to the K.C. Jones Retirement Party." The Boston coach had announced last month he would retire at the end of this season, and The Omni crowd knew a Hawks win, eliminating the Celtics, would mean the earliest end to a Boston season since 1983.

Another fan chanted relentlessly from the sidelines: "Just another game! Just another game!" But it wasn't, of course. It was billed as the biggest professional basketball game in this city's history, and the biggest pro sporting during a game against Milwaukee in the first round of this year's playoffs. Army Lt Al Klyap, a New Yorker stationed at Ft Benning, and a Celtics fan since childhood, drew boos and obscenities as he trotted through the atrium of nearby CNN Center clad in a green Celtics jersey and shorts. Even the two sergeants from his platoon, Hawks fans Willie Arrington of Montgomery, Ala. and Ralph Dudley of St Petersburg, disassociated themselves from Klyap.

"Right now, he looks like the only Celtics fan in the WORLD," Dudley said. Minutes before game time, the arena seemed more ready for a world heavyweight title fight than a basketball game. Fans swarmed above and around the tunnel where the Hawks would first appear for warmups and thundered in anticipation. Kevin Willis, who had starred for the Hawks in their win at Boston Wednesday night, was first at the tunnel's mouth, but waited calmly, doing stretching exercises with a stoic face that became a grim game face. Then he trotted out And the crowd went wild.

And stayed that way until the final second. From Page 1A "Am I dreaming?" he asked, and nodded toward seats directly across from the Hawks' bench. "Usually, for a Celtics game, that section is a wall of green," he said, referring to the fabled colors of the Boston Celtics, who over the years have been as much of a box-office attraction on their visits to Atlanta as the home-standing Hawks. "There's so much spontaneous red here this time," Kasten said. Bishop practiced basic social action, providing assistance to poor people in the neighborhood.

In January 1973, he took his message to the church's present site in south DeKalb, feeling that God had called him to find a solution to the upheaval in the area caused by white flight By skillfully combining elements of traditional white and black religious services, he built Atlanta's largest integrated church. As the church grew, so did Paulk's reputation. Courtesy of Trinity Broadcasting Network, his show can be seen in cities throughout the United States. A close associate of evangelist Oral Roberts, he serves as a regent on the board of Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Okla. Kingdom theology is the basis for the current building program, which will be completed by 1990.

Take the shopping center, for example, whose brick shell stands next to the church's present sanctuary. It's designed to serve two purposes: one local, one global. On the one hand, it will give local teenagers and adults a safe, Christian environment in which to congregate at night and on weekends. But the mall has a wider purpose as well. It will market products from Latin American and African congregations with which Chapel Hill is building ties.

This is part of Paulk's theory of Christian economics: "We will give them a market, which helps them get out of poverty, which helps them have influence in government" Fall of archrival Swaggart brought benefits Promoting the idea of kingdom theology has become somewhat easier since Feb. 21, the day evangelist Jimmy Swaggart publicly confessed that he had "sinned." Swaggart, it was widely reported, had consorted with prostitutes. As a result his ministry has lost donations and influence. And indirectly, that has helped Chapel Hill, because Swaggart the most visible figure in the Pentecostalcharismatic movement despised Paulk and said so, loudly and often. Their difference was over theology.

Swaggart, representing traditional Pentecostalism, preached that the world was totally corrupt Christians, he said, had a single purpose on earth: to get right with God in their own hearts and wait to go to heaven. Days before his fall, he took that message to Nicaragua, where he was the first American evangelist to be allowed in since the leftist Sandinista revolution in 1979. Once a fierce critic of the Sandinistas, Swaggart embraced President Daniel Ortega and preached that Nicaraguans should not blame the government for their country's problems. Paulk maintains close ties with Nicaraguan evangelicals particularly Jimmy Hassan, a Miami-based exile who accuse the Sandinistas of repressing religious freedom. Thus, to Paulk, Swag-gart's Nicaraguan crusade was an outrageous error, one that actually triggered his fall.

In one specific way, Chapel Hill benefited directly from Swaggart's fall. After Swaggart's confession, television officials in Costa Rica yanked his show off the air in that strategic Central American country. Chapel Hill quickly purchased the prime-time slot and has been airing Spanish-language broadcasts from the church ever since. And that's not the only place that Paulk's sermons can be heard on a weekly basis. According to the Rev.

Pedro Torres, who runs Chapel Hill's Spanish-language ministry, since the beginning of the year the church has purchased television time in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, as well as on English-language stations in South Africa and the Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago. The television ministry costs upwards of $8,000 a month, paid for by Chapel Hill members, Torres s.i'd. A dnnntions increase, the church can buy air in more countries. Aiming to mold future foreign leaders In the meantime, Chapel Hill is getting its message out by distributing videotapes and copies of Paulk's books among growing evangelical churches in Latin America. In this effort, the church is aided by the Rev.

Geoff Donnan, president of Caribbean Christian Ministries of Pompano Beach, an organization whose stated purpose is to combat communism by encouraging social and political action by conservative Christians. "We are networking with local churches in every country in Latin America," Torres says. A key part of this process for Chapel Hill is identifying young, ambitious pastors who can be trained as spiritual leaders for their countries. A model for that type of leader is Christian Casanova, Paulk's dynamic and controversial associate in Chile. Over the last few years, the youthful Casanova, who heads a theocratic organization called the Theological Movement, has emerged as something of a national figure in his country.

Recently, a mass-circulation Chilean magazine warily dubbed him the "Christian Ayatollah," a man who might run for president whenever the country's dictator, Gen. Augusta Pinochet allows elections. Training future Christian Casanovas is where the Earl Paulk School of Biblical Studies comes in. The school has requested accreditation as a college from the International Christian Accreditation Association, which is affiliated with Oral Roberts University, says Paulk's assistant, Tricia Weeks. She says the accreditation process may take three to five years.

"I want it to be a resource for study on government" Paulk says of the school. "I want internationals to come and see how church and state can not only live together but complement one another." From Page 1A who sees things in historical terms is redefining charismatic Christianity. Traditional Pentecostalism, from which the modern charismatic movement sprang, emphasizes such "gifts of the spirit" as speaking in tongues and faith healing. It also teaches its followers to shun the world and look only to heaven. That theology is finished, because it does not actively oppose evil on earth, Paulk says.

In its place, Chapel Hill will train a generation of Christian activists to chart the way into the 21st century. These men and women will carve out leadership roles in the arts, business and above all, gov-, eminent with the ultimate goal of reclaiming the globe from secularism and communism. Church focuses on attack, not escape No more "escape mentality," Paulk says. Chapel Hill's congregation does not sing hymns like "I'll Fly Away" and "Over There in Glory Land." "We're back to 'A Mighty Fortress, he says, in a reference to Luther's most famous hymn. "Not just a place of refuge, but a place from which you go to attack the enemy.

And the enemy is not government, but evil in government" In essence, this is Paulk's philosophy, which he calls kingdom theology. It holds that Christians have an obligation to create God's kingdom on earth. Their guide for all matters, from politics to economics to environmental protection, is the Bible. Paulk's vision was much less international when he founded the original Harvester Church in Inman Park in 1960. He preached racial harmony and Hi.
