Police: Man slain at city depot after fight with co-worker

Updated 1:29 pm, Thursday, March 3, 2016

BALTIMORE (AP) — A Baltimore public works employee was fatally shot at a city maintenance depot after an argument with a co-worker turned physical and the co-worker got a gun Thursday, city police said. The shooter is still on the loose, they said.

Police officers were called to a Department of Public Works facility Thursday morning for a report of a shooting and in a locker room area they found a 34-year-old employee who had been shot several times, spokesman T. J. Smith said at a news conference. The man was taken to Shock Trauma, where he was pronounced dead.

Smith didn't release any details about the suspected shooter, but said investigators have good leads and expect to identify the person soon.

"They were at work making a living and somehow or another the bad guy decided to end this dispute with a gun," Smith said. "So whether it was a personal or a professional argument, we have to answer those questions and get to the bottom of that. What made this bad guy bring the gun to work? Why did he have it at work and why did he choose to use it today?"

I dare anybody to find an item so capable of resolving any confrontation or disagreement quickly and easily.

From loud music in a car outside 7-Eleven, to someone talking on a cell phone during movie previews, guns are helping in situations where compromise is not warranted, and actions need to be taken swiftly.

"They were at work making a living and somehow or another the bad guy decided to end this dispute with a gun,"

I thought the gun guy is the good guy. Where are the Gumpers to clarify this?

Calling all Gumpers!!!!!!!!
