ST. LOUIS — A disgruntled worker embroiled in a pension dispute with
his company walked into the plant and opened fire Thursday, killing
three people, wounding five and sending frightened co-workers
scrambling into closets and to the snow-covered roof for safety.

Police said the gunman, identified as 51-year-old Timothy Hendron of
Webster Groves, a St. Louis suburb, showed up at Swiss-based ABB
Group's sprawling plant around 6:30 a.m., armed with an assault rifle
and a handgun.

Multiple St. Louis-area media outlets were reporting that Hendron was
believed to be among the dead, but police refused to confirm that.

Several hours after the shooting, officers were still inside the
plant, going room to room to make sure there were no more victims.

The motive for the shooting wasn't immediately known. But in 2006,
Hendron and other ABB workers sued the company over retirement losses.
The federal lawsuit accused ABB and its pension-review committee of
causing their 401(k) accounts to include investment options with
"unreasonable and excessive" – and undisclosed – fees and expenses.
The suit went to trial Tuesday in Kansas City.

Maybe the lesson there is that there are serious repercussions for
screwing somebody out of their retirement.....

Yes, Gene, messing with the retirement plan is never a good idea. It
makes me wonder how the Enron dudes have made it this far.

Says the Christian! You should consider taking them out yourself,
Tim. They're doing Satan's work, you know. They'll screw your wife
and kids if you give 'em a chance. Oh, they were Christians too?
