SIGNAL HILL, Calif. (AP) —

A disgruntled employee firing a pistol seriously wounded three co-workers at a menu printing
plant Monday before killing himself as a SWAT team entered the building, authorities said.

The man, about 67, entered Kenyon Press shortly after 9 a.m., walked past a superior and shot
three co-workers with a semiautomatic handgun, police Capt. Mary Risinger said.

The business owner told police the man had indicated he was upset about a reduction in work
affecting all employees, Risinger said. It was not known how long the gunman had worked there
or when the cutback was announced.

"The employees recently had their hours cut back," Risinger said.
"So he was upset about that, about not having enough work."

3. He was obviously a nut case...

now the workers ARE out of work due the injuries he inflicted! :crazy:

But the remaining workers will now have more hours. You're right!

And I hear there's a job opening.... :P :sarcasm:

Actually, a bit above it. Used to be a nice little place. Haven't been there in years.
