Hartford Distributors Shooting

Nine people were killed and two injured after an employee who was about to be let go from a beer distributor outside of Hartford opened fire inside the business on August 3, 2010, officials said.

Employees told CBS affiliate WFSB that Omar Thornton is the suspect in the shooting. Thornton had reportedly been called in for a disciplinary hearing and was facing termination. Thornton was found dead of a gunshot wound, reports WFSB.

Multiple workers of Hartford Distributors were shot inside the business at about 7 a.m., police said. Police sources said the gunman, whom fellow employees identified as Omar Thornton, was found fatally shot inside the building before 9 a.m.

Receptionist Marissa Busiere said she heard another coworker screaming after shots rang out inside the business. "'He's shooting! He's shooting! Call 911.' And everyone started running out of the building," Busiere said.

Brett Hollander of Hartford Distributors says 50 to 70 people were inside during a shift change. State police Lt. J. Paul Vance says authorities were searching the building to make sure everyone was accounted for. John Hollis of the Connecticut Teamsters is with company officials at the scene of the shooting. He says the gunman was a driver who had worked at the distributor for a couple of years and been called in for a disciplinary hearing.
