Police search for gunman who killed 3, injured 6 in Calif. quarry shooting

CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) — Authorities went door to door with guns drawn on Wednesday in search of a disgruntled employee they say opened fire at a Northern California limestone quarry, killing three and wounding six, before possibly wounding another woman in an attempted carjacking.

Schools were on lockdown or closed in the Silicon Valley city of Cupertino and nearby Los Gatos as SWAT teams sought Shareef Allman, 47.

Allman was at a routine safety meeting at the quarry at about 4:30 a.m. when he became disgruntled and left, Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Lt. Rick Sung said. He then returned with a handgun and rifle and started shooting people, Sung said.

Sheriff Laurie Smith said two people were pronounced dead at Permanente Quarry in Cupertino, and a third person died later at the hospital.

1. Saw this story on HuffPo
and the MORONS there linked to every Shareef Allman they could find in the social media internet pages, none of whom seemed to be the right guy.

That's just a bunch of crap on their part.

3. One roadblock is 2 miles from us.
My kids HS almost closed (went into lockdown for awhile)- they did close Homestead High.

There are quite a few roadblocks, and the police are going door-to-door.
