Another Massive Sacramento Manhunt: updated 01:34 a.m.

Sacramento police are in a furious manhunt at this hour. A Burns International Security Officer killed at least on co-worker at his place of employment just a few minutes ago. A search of his residence is now underway. Subject is believed to have a scanner so traffic is held to a minimum.

At his residence, many automatic weapons have been found, making of an explosive device, and various electronic counter-measures. The house was fully equipped with video surveillance systems.

Burns could not tell police exactly what company vehicle he is driving. It is believed to be a late model white Ford Ranger but they don't have the plate. SPD's resources are strained checking all stationary Burns guards. The air unit is out of fuel and heading in. A massive search is under way.

This could get very interesting. Of course on the east coast we are seeing nothing on television. Thank God for freerepublic.

Think I should send this to my employer as a reason to allow weapons ('cuz our outsourced security firm people might go nuts)?

[xclusiv1]

Sounds like he can do some serious damage.

Still nothing on Sacramento local tv or The Sacramento Bee about this.

Man shoots and kills four in Sacramento, police say

SACRAMENTO (AP) -- A man shot and killed four people Saturday night, police said. Authorities were investigating reports that the suspect and the victims were all security guards with Burns Security, said Sacramento Police spokesman Sgt. Daniel Hahn.

The suspect was being sought in a downtown parking garage about 2 1/2 hours after the shootings, first reported at 11:18 p.m.

Two of the shootings were at the Marina at Miller Park on the Sacramento River just south of downtown, Hahn said. The two others were at the corporation yard about 10 miles south of that where the city keeps equipment and vehicles. It was not immediately clear which shootings occurred

I hope they catch this guy alive or he surrenders. I have three friends who live in Sacramento and I'm worried about them.
