U.S.: The Connecticut workplace shooter seemed perfectly normal
- From my few meetings with him, he didn’t stand out as one of those people who would do anything like this – just a co-worker to everyone.
- Teamsters official John Hollis • Describing Omar S. Thornton, the disgruntled employee who shot and killed eight, then himself, in a workplace shooting. Thornton had just finished a disciplinary meeting with management at Manchester, Conn.-based Hartford Distributors when he started shooting “indiscriminately,” according to Hollis. Thornton was the newest hire at the family-owned beer and wine distribution company, and had worked there around two years. Nobody saw it coming. source
