From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ananova, 06/02/01 A disgruntled ex-employee has killed four people and then turned the gun on himself at an engine factory near Chicago. The man who was fired from the factory after he got caught stealing from his employer forced his way into the building and opened fire one day before he was to report to prison. William Baker, 66, showed up at the plant in suburban Chicago with an arsenal of weapons in a golf bag and made his way through the building, blasting away with an AK-47 assault rifle. Employees scattered in terror during the rampage that lasted about 10 to 15 minutes at the plant, run by Navistar International, a major lorry and engine maker. Baker shot seven people, three of them fatally, in an engineering area, then went into an office, where he killed one more person and then shot himself, police said. He had been scheduled to surrender on Tuesday to serve a five-month sentence for conspiracy to commit theft. He pleaded guilty last June, six years after he was fired. Martin Reutimann, a 24-year-old engineer, was sitting at his desk when he heard gunfire. "I heard somebody yell, 'There's a guy in the centre aisle with a gun!' " Mr Reutimann said. He said he saw people running past him, then fled and called the police. -- Another gun control success story. Steve.
