3 Workplace Shootings In One Day

The swaggering gunmen operate as hired muscle for the Syrian regime, clutching rifles and daggers as they sweep through towns and villages, seeking vengeance on enemies of Bashar Assad. Recruited from the ruling elite's Alawite sect, the militiamen known as "shabiha" carry out some of the most ghastly attacks of Syria's violent conflict, allowing the regime to deny any direct responsibility. Witnesses have blamed shabiha for the Houla massacre over the weekend. (AP Photo, File) / STR
Three separate workplace shootings were reported in North Carolina, Virginia and Massachusetts on Tuesday morning.
Two people were killed and one injured in a what appeared to be a domestic-related shooting at a Louisburg, N.C., business Tuesday morning, reports CBS News affiliate WRAL-TV in Raleigh.
A man and a woman are dead, and Louisburg police chief Rick Lassiter said the man appears to be the shooter. The injured victim is a woman whose injuries are not life threatening.
Lassiter told WRAL-TV that bullets struck two women inside the office at around 8:45 a.m.
One woman managed to get outside to the parking lot, where she fell over, police said. She was later pronounced dead at the scene.
A second woman sustained a gunshot wound to the hip, but she also get out of the building, police said. She ran toward U.S. Highway 401 and managed to get help from employees at a nearby ACE Hardware store.
The surviving victim was taken to Franklin Regional Hospital. Her wounds were thought to be non-life-threatening.
In Chester, Va., police say an argument in the parking lot of a factory ended when one man pulled out a gun and shot the other man to death, then fled.
Chesterfield County police said the argument happened during the 7 a.m. shift change at Pre Con Industrial.
Police said the victim died at the scene and the suspect drove off in a gold-colored Chevrolet.
In Boston, a man is dead after allegedly shooting a co-worker at a Randolph workplace, then later killing himself.
A spokesman for the Norfolk County District Attorney's office said 48-year-old Howard Trang apparently committed suicide after the shooting at Alloy Fabricators of New England.
Police identified the victim as 52-year-old Gene Dure, who was allegedly shot by Trang in the left arm and abdomen at about 7 a.m.
Police said Trang was found dead on a Randolph street at about 8:30 a.m.
Dure was taken to Caritas Good Samaritan Hospital in Brockton. His condition was not immediately available.

Fortunately, cowboys like BillORights are too busy blogging to be a threat to anyone! LOL I bet BillORights couldn''t hit the broad side of a barn with his gun. LOL
Pro gun people go around talking about how felons can''t legally buy guns but they fail to mention that at least one third of the felonies committed each year do not result in a conviction. Bottom line is that there are a LOT of people running around out there who have committed multiple felonies but never been convicted. There is no way to keep them from legally purchasing guns because that would cut into the gun manufacturers'' profits and they won''t stand for that! They won''t rest until every one in the country feels the need to buy a gun, and they''re making that happen by legally arming people who commit felonies but are too smart to get caught.
Censor this CBS/"BillORights"!
