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.

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?
