[Shwoop]

[QUOTE]Camara, 53, was shot at point blank range by 68-year-old Kevin Downing, a retired U.S. Army Reserves captain outraged at being fired by the Department of Labor for allegedly blowing the whistle on what he called “disclosing inexcusable public waste.”
After shooting Camara, Downing shot and killed himself, officials said.[/QUOTE]

What the fuck is wrong with this guy? Why go kill a random person because you're upset?

Read the article, guy's a nutter. He was pissed because he couldn't find a job and thought there was a conspiracy against him by the Department of Labor to keep him unemployed.

This is the shit I have nightmares about: getting killed at work before I even have a chance to know there's a threat.

jesus, I'm a security guard, and I have been for a year now. Not once have ever had to use force to either get a drunk guy out of the bar or handle squabbles that I come across on the job. but i know other guards who have been shot. The crazies are out there and I hope I never run into one.

Hope this guys family is doing okay.

To be fair, you'd die without having to go through the fear.

That's worse, you wouldn't even have the chance to say goodbye to the people who will miss you.

I'm not afraid of dying. I go to work every day knowing I might not come home. The only thing I want if I'm killed on the job is to see it coming so I can face it head on and be at peace when I go.

The thing that scares me the most about dying is knowing that it's going to bring tremendous pain upon everyone that loves me, and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

I really, really hope Camara didn't suffer. He didn't deserve any of what he got, and I hope Downing faces the hottest hell imaginable for taking the coward's way out.

Would you if a gunman rocked up and aimed at your face?

I don't think a crazed killer would patiently wait for you to call all of your friends and family unless they were a serious sociopath.
