A 21-year-old meatpacking plant worker who seemed to be easily bothered by teasing used two handguns to shoot seven co-workers, killing five of them, before killing himself last Friday.
Police did not offer a motive for Elijah Brown’s 10-minute rampage, but said there appeared to be nothing random about the killings at the Kansas City, Kan., ConAgra Foods, Inc. plant, according to the Associated Press. They said he passed by some co-workers, telling them, “You haven’t done anything to me, so you can go.â€
