Shooting at Connecticut beer distributor; 8 Dead
« on: August 04, 2010, 09:42:07 AM »
A worker at a Connecticut beer distributor shot eight co-workers dead and wounded at least two others before killing himself.

Officials said the gunman had been caught on video stealing from the company and was to be sacked.

The shooting occurred at Hartford Distributors in Manchester, about 10 miles (16km) east of Hartford.

The shooter was identified as Omar Thornton, 34, a recently-hired driver for the company.
Theft accusation

Two injured people were taken to a local hospital and were "expected to survive", a police statement added.

Manchester Police Chief Marc Montminy said that in a meeting with management and union representatives, Mr Thornton was told he could resign from the company or be sacked.

Mr Montminy said the shots had begun as Mr Thornton was being escorted from the building, the Hartford Courant newspaper reported.

"He was being brought in to look at a videotape about what was going on," Teamsters union official Christopher Roos told the New York Times newspaper.

"That was it. He was going to be asked questions. This is what happened afterwards." - BBC

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Ts, tsk, tsk. Such incidents give the art of drinking a bad name.
