We’re working with local authorities as the incident is investigated. Our condolences and deepest sympathies go to the employee’s family and colleagues..."

2. It wasn't Joe the Plumber was it? My luck is not that good.

4. I think "Joe" was hired by Chrystler, and not in Michigan

I can't imagine waiting until getting to work to do something like that. Unless, of course, it was work that drove him/her to do it.
