Samson (Albama): The gunman who killed 10 people and committed suicide in a rampage across the Alabama countryside this week had struggled to keep a job and left behind lists of employers and co-workers he believed had wronged him, authorities said.
The lists found in Michael McLendon's home included a metals plant that had forced him to resign years ago and where he ended up killing himself on Tuesday to end the rampage, District Attorney Gary McAliley said.
Also on the list were a sausage factory from which he suddenly quit last week and a poultry plant that suspended his mother, McAliley said on Wednesday.
The pages torn from a spiral notebook included names of co-workers who he felt had wronged him, including one who reported him for not wearing ear plugs, another who made him clean a meat grinder and a supervisor who didn't like the way he cut pork chops, McAliley said.
"We found a list of people he worked with, people who had done him wrong," said McAliley in an interview outside the charred house where the rampage began.
Investigators offered no immediate explanation for why McLendon targeted relatives and others who weren't on the list as he fired more than 200 rounds in a roughly 30 km trail of carnage across two counties near the Florida state line.
