First of all, if this has already been posted, feel free to pull this thread. I couldn't find it posted anywhere yet on FR. Secondly, I tried to do the "excerpt" thing, since I can no longer keep up (or care) on what sources we can or cannot post.

Henderson sits on the Ohio River in western Kentucky, about ten to fifteen miles from Evansville, Indiana. The article mentions this, but Free Republic won’t let me post the entire piece.

Directly across the Ohio river from Evansville, IN where I live. It’s been a madhouse for about 5 hours around here.

It’s a quiet little town on the Ohio river. John James Audubon spent several years there.

Thanks. It sounded familiar, don't think I have ever been there. Unless caves are there or some other historical site. But I have a lot of family in the area, just wanted to make sure there was no chance any of them worked in the area.

What was it all about? Love triangle? Supervisor is mean? Worker is a psycho?...................

Joe, give us some local updates, if you have them, since it’s in your backyard, so to speak.

Actually, worker had argument, went home, got handgun, came back and shot six coworkers, then offed himself - the coward.
