    Thumbs down 6 dead, 4 wounded in Albuquerque shooting

    ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A gunman opened fire at an Albuquerque fiber optics manufacturer on Monday, killing five people and wounding four others before turning the gun on himself in what police said was a domestic violence dispute.

    The shooting at Emcore Corp. appeared to involve the 37-year-old gunman's ex-wife or girlfriend, police Chief Ray Schultz said. It was not immediately clear whether she was among the dead. Schultz said the gunman was a former employee.

    Chaos unfolded as the gunman opened fire, sending employees fleeing for cover as police locked down the entire neighborhood. Police said 85 employees were later taken to a community center for interviews with detectives.

    Six victims were taken to University of New Mexico Hospital, spokesman Billy Sparks said. One was dead on arrival, one died in the operating room and one was still in surgery but expected to be transferred to intensive care soon.

    Here we go again. I know that concealed carry permits are easily obtain in New Mexico. I wonder if the company that this unfortunate event happened at allows concealed weapon on the property. I'm leaning toward no. I not saying the outcome would have been different if someone could have defended him or herself, but you never know!

    It's hard to guard against crazy. Laws certainly don't work.

    Good thing it was a secure building and everybody was unarmed. It would have been a shame if the gunman had gotten hurt before he managed to kill the sheep and himself. And Security was where doing what?
