MANCHESTER, Conn. (AP) A black warehouse driver who had complained of racial harassment at work went on a shooting rampage at a beer distributorship Tuesday after he was asked to quit, killing eight people before apparently committing suicide, authorities said.
AP is getting ready to REMOVE the reference to the man’s race...see link below with UPDATE

You’re right. Revised story. Removed the racial motive.
New updated info:
“A union official says Thornton had been caught on videotape stealing beer.”
Nine people dead because you stole some beer and got caught? What a messed up world.
“asked to quit”? What’s with that? What a strange statement. Is this something new?
