I clicked on the article about the man who opened fire at a power plant in Missouri, depressed, again, by how many people turn to violence to express their frustrations with their colleagues and fellow workers, with their spouses, with the government. What really caught my attention in the article, however, was the description of the shooter, a description that illustrates the problem with eyewitness accounts:
Descriptions of the gunman have been confusing to police as one witness described the gunman as a black man, about 5-foot-8, wearing a tan coat and carrying a semiautomatic weapon — but later, a company supervisor called police to give the name of a disgruntled worker, a white man, who had possibly been recently fired, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
The news account reports that relatives of workers are saying the shooter was a disgruntled worker.
