Hartford Distributors shooting
The Hartford Distributors shooting was a mass shooting that occurred on August 3, 2010, in Manchester, Connecticut, United States. The location of the crime was a warehouse owned by Hartford Distributors, a beer distribution company. The gunman, former employee Omar Sheriff Thornton (born April 25, 1976)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Omar Thornton Memoriam - Hartford, CT - HartfordCourant.com )〕 shot and killed eight coworkers before turning a gun on himself.〔(9 dead in Connecticut workplace shooting ), ''CNN'' (August 03, 2010)〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=US Warehouse Gunman 'Cold as Ice' )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=9 killed in shooting at Conn. beer distributorship )〕
== The shooting ==
Thornton, aged 34, was called into his place of employment for disciplinary purposes. Thornton had been recorded on surveillance video in the Hartford Distributors warehouse stealing beer on a previous occasion. He was also implicated in the theft of empty beer kegs.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nhregister.com/general-news/20100812/affidavit-conn-shooter-stole-kegs-cases )〕 Hartford Distributors is a wholesale distributor of Budweiser beer products and wine. Given the options of being fired or resigning, Thornton signed the resignation papers and was being escorted out of the building. Instead of leaving, he took two Ruger SR9 semiautomatic pistols from his lunchbox and opened fire.
At the time Thornton started shooting, there were around 40 employees in the building. In just a few minutes, Thornton murdered eight coworkers and seriously injured two others. Many employees made calls to 911, with some callers identifying Thornton. Police arrived on the scene just three minutes after the first 911 call.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fatal Shootings Reponse (sic): 'No One Died After Police Arrived On Scene' )〕 Police entered the building ten minutes after the first 911 call. Thornton promptly hid in a locked office. As more police entered the building, Thornton called his mother and explained to her what he had done. He told her he planned on turning the gun on himself. As police closed in, Thornton called 911, saying his motive for the massacre was racism he had experienced in the workplace. He told the 911 operator that he wished he had killed more people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Transcript of Omar Thornton's 911 Call )〕〔(Audio recording)〕 Soon after hanging up, he killed himself with a shot to the head.
