He should have shot himself first.

Six dead, including suspected shooter. Apparently he was a former employee, and may have been there targeting his wife, who was a current employee.

Yet another example of why it is wise to conceal carry ALL of the time, including while at work. One never knows when the need for self defense will occur, and one should always be prepared.

If there was ever a good reason to participate in office gossip - this might be it.

Be aware of any dysfunctional people floating in your orbit - at work and in your neighborhood.

If there are married couples working in the same place - any discord, especially infidelity, should be a cause for concern. Not paranoia, but caution.

Yes, latest is she was among a group of four dead (including perp) found in one area. Of the other two who died, one was DOA at the hospital, the other died in surgery.

So far, all others shot are expected to live.

Various updates are not confirming the wife/girlfriend is among the deceased. They are not releasing the name of the killer only that he was involved in prior domestic violence complaints. He has children in Albuquerque(?)

Latest from KRQE is that the ABQ Police have reduced the count from 6 to 3 dead and that the shooter, was among the dead. They have also stated that the intended victim was the live-in girlfriend to the shooter and she is injured, but alive.

That was some really chaotic reporting. Thanks for the update.

Killer apparently has children living outside of Albuquerque

I am working in Albu. this week, maybe 5 miles west of there. It would drive me nuts to work at one of those “secure” tech joints,too many rules. But the local media is saying it was over the woman. The libs are calling in saying since they haven't released his name he must not be a Muslim (to prove exactly what I dunno).

Still if I were betting I wouldn't take that one.
