Police: U.S. man fatally shoots hotel worker in Israel

[Glorbo]

[quote]Jerusalem (CNN) -- An American man opened fire in a hotel in the Red Sea resort city of Eilat Friday, an Israeli police spokesman said, killing a hotel employee.
The American was then shot dead when a police anti-terror unit responded to the alert at the hotel, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
An initial investigation suggests that the man grabbed the gun from a hotel security guard and opened fire on one of the workers, according to Rosenfeld.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri told CNN that the man was not a tourist, as police had initially thought, but a sous-chef who had been laid off from his job at the hotel.
The suspect was shot by Special Forces following an exchange of fire.
Police believe the shooting was related to his dismissal from the hotel.[/quote]

On part of the shooter? Because it definitely wasn't on the part of the police.

"Anti terror unit" probably refers to our local version of SWAT.

Uh, don't most countries have an anti-terror unit in their police?
Granted this doesn't seem like something they would respond to in most places, so they probably are used like SWAT.

Soo, just workplace violence, then?

Wouldn't it make more sense to go after the man who laid you off instead of just a random employee?

Not that I'm saying it would be justified, it'd just make a little more sense.

We have no background on it, the guy he shot could have been the one who got him fired.
Considering he reacted by grabbing a gun and shooting somebody, he probably deserved it (The being fired, not the victim being shot)

v I mean somebody he was being a dick to or something, so they complained to the manager and got him fired, and he knew whose complaint it was.

I just figured the man he shot was just an employee.

I feel like if it was the manager, or somebody who could have laid him off, they could have been easily identified.
