A Friday afternoon shooting spree in California at SiPort Inc, a semiconductor
company left three people dead. The suspect is allegedly a former employee.
From an AP report:
Police were searching Saturday for a disgruntled engineer who
allegedly gunned down three people at his former office building in
Santa Clara a day earlier.
The suspect was identified as 47-year-old Jing Wu of Mountain View,
who police say had been let go from semiconductor company SiPort Inc.
Two of the victims were identified as Sid Agrawal, SiPort chief
executive officer, and Brian Pugh, the company’s vice president of
operations. A woman was also killed in the Friday afternoon shooting.
