Probably a gentleman’s dispute over honor as they were walking into work at 9 am

Somehow I figure these guys were Players In The Management Profession given where they were shooting it out.

Sad, that is me in the picture. I drove up to work and that lady was sitting on the curb outside of her car holding her arm saying she got shot. At first I didn't know if the shooter was still there so I didn't want to be the next victim. She then told me she drove off and the shooting happened a couple blocks away. Another car drove up with a med kit and some others in my office grabbed paper towels and water and started applying pressure.
Apparently the shooting suspect just got out of court over a restraining order involving this person we were helpings friend. She and her friend were around where he was, not knowing he was there, next thing he starts shooting her and her friend. She was able to escape, after being shot twice in the arm, however unfortunately I got a WBRZ update when the police showed up and found out that her friend and one other died at the scene. This lady we were helping should be ok, nothing looked life threatening but freaking crazy it happened so close.

Is it possible that the shooter killed himself after shooting the friend?

This is looking like another systemic failure to protect women from enraged men.

This is the kind of shite that is far too common AND often predictable.

Man that's rough for her. So it appears to be an isolated event then which is good. Are you guys back at work or did they let you go home?
