JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- The mother of a man who killed three people and wounded five at a factory before committing suicide filed a workers' compensation claim, saying her son suffered "death by gunfire" at work.
"I don't feel I should have to pay for the actions that he chose to do," said Nina Tichelkamp-Russell, who filed the claim 10 days after the July 1 shooting at the Modine Manufacturing Co.
"I think if there are indicators (of a problem at work) then there are certain people out there who have a responsibility."
The company rejected the claim for death benefits, said Mick Lucareli, a spokesman for Racine, Wis.-based Modine.
The state workers' compensation division will have the final say.
Jonathon Russell, 25, punched his time card before he fatally shot three co-workers and wounded five at the plant. He then drove to a police station, where he fired at two officers before he killed himself.
On the standardized claim form, Tichelkamp-Russell wrote that her son suffered "death by gunfire while on company clock (time)." The form gives no more details of how the death occurred.
