In case you didn't hear, a disgruntled employee killed three co-workers and then himself. Very sad. My heart goes out to the families of the victims

Hard to

understand how this happens, John. Doesn't look like anyone will ever figure out what causes people to snap. Just so sad that they feel it necessary to take innocent victims with them.
