So our lawmakers will wake the **** up... 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. |

The suit went to trial Tuesday in Kansas City. Word of Hendron's alleged involvement in the shooting stunned his neighbors in Webster Groves. Many neighbors described Hendron as an amicable family man who kept a well-manicured home for his wife and small boy. "I couldn't ask for a better neighbor. We never had any problems with him," said Glennon Meyer, a 71-year-old retiree who credits Hendron with friendly gestures ranging from raking Meyer's leaves to bringing over a chocolate cake last Christmas. A few years ago, Meyer said, Hendron mentioned something in passing about having problems on the job. Hendron didn't elaborate. "Gee, I've talked to Tim many times, and he never exhibited any mental aberration," Meyer said. Ron Hawkins, who lives across the street from Hendron's split-level home, echoed that. "He seems like a really nice guy," said Hawkins, 72. "I know nothing negative about he and the family." How about that. No indication... |

Between you, a thesaurus and your friend J, you've got a vocabulary and at least half a brain to press into service. It only seems right it'd be split evenly between the Lord and Guns. Maybe the Lord will tell you to use your gun against Satin someday and you can make the news too! |
