Shooting at Pathmark grocery store - 3 dead including gunman - Polidicks

[quote][B]Gunman kills 2 workers before committing suicide at Old Bridge Pathmark[/B] [URL="http://www.nj.com/old-bridge"] OLD BRIDGE[/URL] — Three people are dead after an employee carrying two guns entered the Pathmark in Old Bridge and killed two workers before taking his own life this morning. The apparently disgruntled worker entered the store around 4 a.m. and shot two people and then himself, Old Bridge mayor Owen Henry confirmed. The gunman, an ex-Marine, had been working at the store for about two weeks, Henry said. The man, whom he did not identify, had been working at the store Thursday night but left and came back a short time later. He was armed with an AK-47 assault rifle and an automatic pistol. "This is sickening," said Sarah Reese, 28, who lives in the London Terrace apartment complex next to the supermarket. Her husband is the superintendent of the complex and told her only one ex-Marine lives there. "It's really sad," she added. I can't believe someone would do this that lives in the same place that I do." Caroline Anders, another resident of London Terrace, said she learned that one of the victims is a 18-year-old woman who also lived in the complex and just started working at Pathmark. "She has a heart of gold," said Anders of the woman. "She was just beginning her life. She always had a smile on her face and now some clown who is thrown away by society takes her life. Let's all just pray for all of them." After the shooting police removed a number of Pathmark employees and brought them to chairs outside the nearby TGIF restaurant along Route 9 near the Sayreville border. Owen confirmed that several store windows were also shot out but it was uncertain how that happened. "This is the worst phone call a mayor can receive," Henry said of the information he obtained about 6:30 a.m. "You can prepare for these things but you can't prevent them."[/quote] [URL]http://www.nj.com/middlesex/index.ssf/2012/08/gunman_kills_two_workers_befor.html[/URL] [URL]http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/supermarket-employee-ak-47-kills-co-workers-pathmark-old-bridge-new-jersey-gunman-kills-2-nj-supermarket-article-1.1148744[/URL] Another disgruntled worker dispute. Pretty stupid to shoot your fellow employees especially if you've only been working their for two weeks. Oh, and he had an AK-47 which has already sparked gun control talks.

If it was just 2 weeks and he already killed his co-workers and himself, he clearly has mental issues. inb4 gun debate [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Meme reply" - Craptasket))[/highlight]

I thought Pathmark went out of business a while ago. I had no idea there were any still around.

Jesus, so many shootings in the news recently.

They never went under nor were in danger of going under, they were the main contributors towards buying out the other stores and merging.

I guess I shouldn't assume like that.

Somehow I doubt it was an automatic AK-47, knowing how people report guns typically

Pisses me off when they commit suicide right after. Like, why the fuck not just kill yourself first? Why do you have to bring 2 innocent people with you? It's not going to matter when you're dead.

Where's the Journalism Gun Chart? We need it right about now.

I wonder which one he used? [img]http://cdnimg.visualizeus.com/thumbs/2b/0b/ak,47,firearms,guide,guns,humor,journalism-2b0bd688ce07e58aa8d5f1b4cf545119_h.jpg[/img]

I live down the road not to far from this.
