Shooter claims to be victim of racism in the workplace - There but for the grace of God...

A delivery driver who went on a shooting rampage at a beer distributor told an emergency operator he was the victim of racism and that he wished he had killed more people.


Omar Thornton called 911 on Tuesday after shooting 10 co-workers - eight fatally - at Hartford Distributors Inc, Connecticut, before turning the gun on himself.

He claimed he had been the victim of racism and introduced himself as 'the shooter over in Manchester' and said he was hiding inside the building.

In the call, he said: 'You probably want to know the reason why I shot this place up.

'This place is a racist place. They're treating me bad over here. And treat all other black employees bad over here, too.

'So I took it to my own hands and handled the problem. I wish I could have got more of the people.'
