Shootings at U of A

Thinking of you, Renauda. Freaky when things like this happen close to home.

It's been an especially bad week. Something tells me they'll find this latest nutbar dead the bush with a self inflicted gunshot to the head.

Oh my. How awful. Yes, Renauda, I think you're probably right to expect that outcome.

Baumgartner was detained and arrested without incident yesterday afternoon at the US border at Aldergrove, B.C.. According to one border official it was as if he showed up to turn himself in.

All the victims were employees of G4S Security, the same company that Baumgartner worked for.

Police said Saturday afternoon Baumgartner's company-issued firearm and body armour were missing,


I wonder how much training and screening these armoured car/security companies put their applicants through before issuing them firearms and body armour.

Scary... (and stupid)

What was the motive? Were the shootings just a planned part of the robbery? Or did something go awry?
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

Don't know. Police haven't made any statements. He'll be formerly charged Wednesday when he is brought back to Alberta.
