THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR JOB

A Connecticut truck driver who was in trouble with his bosses opened fire on his co-workers Tuesday, killing at least eight people before shooting himself.

The gunman worked at a family-owned beer and wine wholesaler in Manchester, Conn., where a union official called him a "disciplinary problem."
"The union was bringing him in to meet with the company," Teamsters official John Hollis told the Hartford Courant. "He started shooting."
The Associated Press reported that Omar Thornton, 34, was asked to resign and instead opened fire just before 7:30 a.m. This economy is straight killing people.
