Title: FedEx shooting
Post by: LurkerNoMore on April 29, 2014, 07:05:59 AM
Georgia officials said the suspected gunman who opened fire Tuesday morning at a FedEx facility injuring six was found dead by an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, MyFoxAtlanta.com reported.

There was one person in critical condition and the others were considered minor to serious, the station reported. Hundreds of law enforcement officers are at the facility, which is in the town of Kennesaw, located in Cobb County, northwest of Atlanta. According to crews on the scene, authorities have secured the entire area.

A bomb team from the FBI is on the scene and assisting in the investigation.

Cobb County police spokesman Michael Bowman said Tuesday the suspect is dead but police are still sweeping the package-sorting facility north of Atlanta to make sure there are no other threats.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that six people were taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital and more are expected.

Michael Hogland, a driver at the FedEx facility, told the paper, "(My boss) called me about 6 o'clock this morning saying there was a guy inside, shot the security guard. He had a gun pointed at him and said, 'Don’t worry about getting here on time.'" ***True GetBig style right there***

There are reports of local businesses on lockdown and employees are meeting at a nearby skating rink.

FedEx released a statement saying it is aware of the situation and its primary concern is the safety of its workers.

I haven't seen anything that would state the race.  Then again, I haven't followed it much.  But I can tell you that Cobb county is highly white and Republican.  All the blacks are mostly over in Decatur and South - South East Atlanta.

Another day in America. Yawn. Shootings happen there every month. Some claim 30 people, others a few injuries. That's the reality of having a free society with open gun sales. A few will use them to kill. Time to go back to discussing that missing plane.

If we would just ban work these work place killings would end.

What's sad is that this is becoming more and more commonplace. People are becoming desensitized.
All these people having "Falling Down" moments is sign of something bigger.
