A California Highway Patrol dispatcher on Tuesday morning confirmed that seven people including the shooter had died at the mail facility in Goleta, California. Police received calls that shots had been fired at about 9:15 p.m. on Monday and found two bodies in the street, Santa Barbara Sheriff spokesman Erik Raney said on local television station KEYT. A former employee with a firearm was suspected of shooting postal employees, he said. Santa Barbara County and city Special Weapons and Tactics teams responded, he added. KEYT reported on Tuesday morning the shooting had ended and deputies had found two bodies outside the building and four bodies inside, including the shooter, a former employee. Two wounded were taken to the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Nursing Supervisor Wanda Johnson said one victim had died and another was in critical condition with a gun shot to the head.
I wonder why these people go postal much more often than at other jobs. Mail sorting doesn't seem like the most stressing job, unless you're delivering a thousand letters to Santa each day.
It's sad, but the first thing I did after I read this thread was Google Newman. I didn't see any pictures I liked enough to post, however.
I've been waiting on some prints for 2 weeks. They were shipped from Snapfish on the 17th and I still haven't received them. Thanks a lot, postal service.
Its been awhile since this happened back in the days where it was a common thing. I even remember one of my former coworkers had a shirt with the USPS logo with gun shots on it. Its scary though cause my mom works for USPS.
