BIRMINGHAM Ala. (Reuters) - A recently-fired UPS employee on Tuesday shot dead two supervisors at the company facility where he had worked in Birmingham, Alabama before turning the gun on himself, police said.
The gunman, who was wearing a brown UPS uniform, had been terminated earlier this month and had learned a day earlier that he had lost his appeal to get his job back, police said, adding that his motive was not immediately clear. Police had earlier said that the man was fired yesterday.
The shooting occurred shortly before 9:30 a.m. at a large, brick UPS service center atop a hill in the Inglenook section of Birmingham, close to the airport, police said.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

When I heard that story, I just cringed. Why would any rational adult kill themselves over losing a job. It just doesn't make sense.
The loss of a job is not worth death, going to jail, or getting put away in an insane asylum. Those were reasons I began to think the fired employee was truly [glow=red,2,300]CRAZY![/glow]

This is normal in America. Not entirely new by any means. My country, tis of thee. Sweet land of blood soak liberty. And I mean every word of what I just typed. I don't understand why this shooting even made the news unless the UPS logo being attach has something to do with it. Either way, we have shootings all the time in the workplace. I suppose mainstream American media will decide which shooting stories are worth the coverage.

I'm not aware of workplace shootings being normal in America.
