Helen Lamparter was one of seven people killed in the workplace mass shooting at ESL Inc., a computer company in Sunnyvale, California, on February 16, 1988. The shooter, Richard Farley, was a former employee who entered the building armed with multiple firearms, including a shotgun and a semi-automatic rifle, and opened fire, wounding several others. He held the police at bay for nearly six hours before surrendering and reportedly expressed no remorse while indicating he understood the consequences of his actions.

Farley was charged with multiple counts including murder and attempted murder; a jury convicted him of first-degree murder for each of the seven victims, including Helen Lamparter, and of the attempted murders of several who were injured. He was sentenced to death. The incident drew attention to workplace violence, stalking, and the limits of restraining orders as protections.
