Performance review may have sparked NASA shooting
HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) -- Police said Saturday that a bad performance review may have led a NASA contractor to fatally shoot his supervisor and take another employee hostage before killing himself.
Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt said Saturday an e-mail critical of an employee's work set Friday's events in motion at Johnson Space Center in Houston.
The gunman, a career NASA civil servant identified as Bill Phillips, received an e-mail from NASA employee and supervisor David Beverly last month. The e-mail detailed Phillips' "job deficiencies" and outlined a plan for improvement. (more at CNN)
I would like to counsel anyone who owns a gun and who has a bad performance review that the act of bringing your gun to work to solve this problem is never going to end in your favor. Just saying.

Isn't that just pathetic? And smuggling a gun into NASA - wow.
damn good thing I don't own a gun.. ;-)
JOKING!!
I am sure there will be lots of changes in security at work now. I guess they will have to give everyone good performance reviews from now on as well :P
Tug - No smuggling guns into the job you hate. It won't work. You won't get closer to the family from jail. :) And here's ANOTHER comment I never received in email. :(
Jen - I bet security will be tight now! You should blog about it, but without details.
