Gunman 'randomly' opens fire on Laclede Gas workers in St. Louis
St. Louis Post-Dispatch ^ | April 20, 2017 | Post-Dispatch Staff reporters

A gunman "randomly" opened fire Thursday morning on Laclede Gas employees working in the city's Hamilton Heights neighborhood, killing two before shooting and killing himself, police and a witness said.

The shooting was reported about 11:16 a.m. in the 5900 block of Minerva Avenue, on the western edge of the city.

Police said two Laclede Gas workers, one in his 20s and the other in his 50s, were fatally injured when the gunman "randomly" fired at them, according to St. Louis Police Capt. Mary Warnecke. The gunman then killed himself, though that appears to have been at a different location.

In agreement with your excellent reply.

Your summation is excellent!

The above said, I give kudos to every specialty in the Armed Services from office clerk to SEAL. All have done their duty if honorably discharged.

One was in the back=hoe and the other in the hole. If it was as I have described they would have needed a third man on overwatch. That runs the cost of the operation up and until this sort of thing becomes commonplace and workers refuse to go out on the job it won’t happen.

Wondering if it was another black/Muslim on white hate crime?

I thought it was a coworker that had been maligned. I was wrong. People don’t understand what a hostile workplace will do to a person. I was wrong.

Understand. But I doubt they were carrying or watching or scanning at all. Condition White (in more than one way). The lady whose service they were working on described the attacker as walking in a way that he could have been flagged (not her words).

I just realized something. Whites are in Condition White. That’s the problem.

Turn the affected utility off and leave it off. Tell all the people there “ We’ll be back when our employees can Safely perform their duties “ Happy Thanksgiving!

They shoved gay marriage down our throats on the federal level. Then I get to carry wherever I want.
