Valley Developer Gets Fired, Goes Postal, Kills Three

From the AP: 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...

Sellers described Wu as about 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds. Investigators believe he fled the complex in a silver Mercury Mariner SUV.

''He could be anywhere,'' Sellers said. ''He's considered armed and dangerous. If you see him, don't approach him, call the police.''

I am very saddened by this and pray for all of their families. It also scares me as a manager. When you have to fire someone, you want to do it humanely and not act as if you think someone could do the worst. But when you see something like this, it makes you think that you need to take precautions that 99.999% of the time are unnecessary, but that can appear disrespectful and hurtful to the person being fired.
