A day after he was fired, a UPS employee showed up to work in Birmingham, Alabama, gunned down two bosses and then killed himself, police said Tuesday. "It appears the shooter knew exactly who he wanted to target at the time," Lt. Sean Edwards said.

I used to work security at one of the larger PNW UPS hubs. I walked away from that job with the feeling that UPS did not care about the overall safety of their workers on their jobsite so much as that they weren't stealing. I'm assuming it was UPS with this attitude not the security outfit that was contracted. The Post Orders included procedures and instructions on searching both incoming and outgoing workers through the main gate. Sure there was metal detectors for both incoming/outgoing, but only the outgoing detector was operational. I'm guessing the Alabama hub was set up in a similar fashion. We had to search every bag going out (and verify UPS property), but not coming in. We had to wand down every person who set off the outgoing metal detector, regardless of if it was break time and they were just stepping out for a cigarette 10 ft from the gate or if it was end of shift.

Some bosses and supervisors can be some real assholes. I am surprised shit like this doesn't happen more often.
