Woman Opens Fire At Kraft Foods Facility After Being Suspended
After being dismissed earlier yesterday from the Kraft Foods, a woman came back in a car with a shotgun, and killed two employees there and one was injured.
The woman was escorted out of the building as she was suspended from her job and she was no longer admitted there. After ten minutes of leaving the building she came back with a handgun and opened fire and killed two of the people there and a third one was critically injured.
The shooting began late on Thursday in the city’s northeast section inside a plant of the nation’s largest food manufacturer. Around 8:30 p.m. the woman entered the building in a car after passing over a security barrier.
Stopping in front of the offices with the car, she went out of the car and she started shooting without watching around. The employee she first shot followed her in and yelled “Hide, she’s got a gun!”.
Officers responded quickly enough, but not as quickly as those killings not to have happened. After catching her they isolated her in a room and even in this situation, she fired a shot at them but she missed.
At that moment as well, the officers fled seven employees there that were in a rather bad position, as they were near the shooter and she was a danger to them, despite of the fact that they may have nothing to do with her suspension.
The shooter was apprehended around 9:30 p.m but the identity was not revealed yet and nor were the reasons for which she was suspended.
A worker that has been working there for nearly 30 years, was at the third floor when he heard some shooting going on and someone saying that there are three people shot there. “I heard the gunfire, and I ran,” he told The Associated Press, his apron still on. “As I was running down the steps they were yelling, ‘Oh, my God, there’s three people shot!’”
Kraft is very sorry for what happened and they expressed their grief to the families of the killed people and as well they said the building will be closed until further notice and the employees there will be offered counseling, as this is something that really has an impact on someone, if lived “live”. “This is a tragic loss for all of us. To assist our employees, we will be providing counseling services at the facility,” part of the statement said.
Despite of the fact that mass killing situations are rarely held by women, according to the president of the Threat Assessment Group Inc, in 1985 Sylvia Seegrist was found guilty of murder as she began shooting in a mall from Springfield; thing that led to three dead people and seven wounded. In 1991 she expressed her belief that it was not fair for her to get life in prison, as she believes that 15 to 20 years are fair enough.
In 2010, earlier Amy Bishop, a former instructor and a researcher at the University of Alabama’s Huntsville campus, began a campus shooting that ended with three biology professors dead and other three employees injured.
Anyhow, there is the possibility that these people may be suffering from double identity, but this is under no circumstantial for us to take care of, but for their doctor’s to resolve, so that no more innocent people are hurt.
