2010 Workplace Violence Accidents
Gunman kills 3 co-workers and himself, wounds 5, at ABB Inc. plant (a few employees sought refuge in the snowy cold of the windswept roof – a caller said he was watching a gunman blast away – when police entered, the first body they found eventually was confirmed as that of a lone gunman, 51 – he was a longtime production worker there – he armed himself with what they described as an assault rifle, shotgun and pistol and, upon arriving at 6:30 a.m., quickly shot eight co-workers, killing three before shooting himself – friends described the stocky, balding worker as a friendly, laid-back, beer-drinking guy – but a neighbor said he once grumbled that some supervisors were picking on him – he was one of four named plaintiffs whose lawsuit against the company, alleging it charged excessive fees for the employee 401(k) retirement plan, went to trial – investigators weren’t sure yet if the victims were targeted)
Three killed in Georgia shooting: CNN (three people were killed and several others injured in a shooting at a truck rental office – three other people were wounded and were already taken to hospitals – condition of the surviving victims is still unknown – the accident happened when a man walked into the truck rental office and began shooting – the suspect fled the scene in a pickup truck and was arrested about a mile from the rental facility – the suspect, identified as an ex-worker at the rental facility, is now in custody)
