Dennis Trope was a misogynistic mass murderer who shot a group of female medical students during an orientation event in Central Park. During the shooting, he used an illegally converted Rolf 9mm automatic pistol. He killed 15 people and wounded 12 within a minute.
On the advisement of Detective Ed Green, Dennis pleaded guilty to the murders and was subsequently sentenced to 15 concurrent terms of a minimum of 25 years in prison.
He subsequently testified against the CEO of Rolf Firearms in his trial. (L&O: "Gunshow")
