Metskins Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/04/03/binghamton.shooting/index.html A lone gunman began shooting Friday in an immigration services building in Binghamton, New York, killing at least four people, a law enforcement source close to the situation said. I grew up about 5 minutes away from where this happened. I know exactly where this went down. I've already heard that a few friend's relatives work there and from a source on the scene that there could be as many as 13 people dead. Tragic shame......:doh::doh::doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/hostage_shooting BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – A gunman blocked the back door of an immigration services center with his car before walking through the front door firing, wounding at least six people and taking as many as 41 hostage, officials said. Mayor Matthew Ryan told the Binghamton Press & Sun Bulletin that there was a hostage situation involving a gunman with a high-powered rifle. _____________________________________________ ugh...this is not looking good...at least he is being humane enough to let the hostages out.

BlueinBuf Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Just an update he was actually laid off from a Shop-Vac plant back in November. And up until March had been regularly taking classes at the ACA building where this all took place. Here's a local follow up in case anyone is interested. http://pressconnects.com/article/20090405/NEWS01/904050381 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
