"Multiple victims" were hospitalized after a gunman opened fire in a United Postal Service facility in San Francisco on Wednesday, officials said.

I'm confused. How can that be with California having the most gun control laws in the US? Talk about something that isn't working.

Poor homeless, tent-dwellers must've had a helluva show. https://www.google.com/maps/@37.764792, ... 56!6m1!1e1

Small correction: United Parcel Service.

I also read a report stating that he used an "assault pistol"....

I heard "assault pistol" on a radio report.
Wondered what it was, how "black" and or aesthetically pleasing it must be.
Perhaps it was a .223 pistol.

It uses a 30 caliber magazine clip that explodes on impact, they neutralize unicorns instantly, pretty scary stuff.

A San Francisco UPS driver who killed three colleagues in a shooting rampage at a company warehouse was armed with two stolen guns and appeared to target his victims, police said Friday.

Police Commander Greg McEachern told a news conference that investigators have not yet determined Jimmy Lam's motive, but "the shooting appeared purposeful and targeted."

Lam, 38, shot and killed three fellow drivers and wounded two others before killing himself in front of police in the June 14 shooting. An 18-year veteran of UPS, Lam opened fire at a morning meeting of UPS drivers before the drivers went out on deliveries.

Lam began by shooting Benson Louie, 50, in the meeting before turning the gun on Wayne Chan, 56, McEachern said. He then walked outside and confronted Mike Lefiti, 46, and fatally shot him multiple times.

Lam then walked back inside the warehouse, where police found him after a two-minute search. Lam walked by several other employees he could have shot but didn't, McEachern said.

When police confronted Lam, he had the gun pointed to his head and police ordered him to drop the weapon. Instead, he shot himself, McEachern said.

Wonder if they were stolen from UPS shipments.

UPS plays that down, but such internal theft has dogged the company for years.

That's why I have always winced when I have to list the contents and/or value of the package I'm about to hand over. I don't think it'd be difficult for an average UPS worker to figure out which packages contained firearms and whether the package contains a long gun or a handgun.
