Gunman Kills 5, then Himself in Plant

A 25 year old press operaator shot and killed five co-workers and himself at a plastics plant in rural western Kentucky. This happened just hours after arguing with his supervisor about not wearing safety goggles and using his cell phone while on the assembly line, according to police. He was so riled by the argument that he called his girlfriend and told her that he wanted to kill his boss. The girlfriend didn't warn anyone and I can't imagine why not. For just two hours later, he argued with another co-worker then shot and killed his supervisor as they walked outside. Then, he returned and shot at co-workers in a break room and on the plant floor and then killed himself. You just don't know these days who is going to off the deep end and kill people for little or no reason.
