Three People Dead After Shooting Breaks Out Inside Birmingham UPS Customer Service - Live Webcast
Update: Birmingham Police Chief A.C. Roper said that the shooter appears to be dead.
What until recently was a surge in tragic and deadly "active shooter" cases mostly affecting various US army bases, shools and shopping malls, has now spread to more commercial structures, such as in this case a UPS Customer Center in Birmingham, Alabama. MyFoxAl reports that three people are confirmed dead in a shooting at the UPS Customer Center in the Inglenook community in north Birmingham.

Three people are confirmed dead in a shooting at the UPS Customer Center in the Inglenook community in north Birmingham. Birmingham Police Chief A.C. Roper said that the shooter appears to be dead.
Police received multiple phone calls about an active shooter at 9:21 a.m. Tuesday. During the shooting, multiple employees fled from the building.
"When police officers entered the facility, they identified and located the three bodies, one of those is obviously the shooter, and it appeared he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound," Roper said.
The incident occured in the warehouse area near the offices. Roper said the person police believe to be shooter was wearing his UPS uniform.
"We have a pretty good idea of what transpired inside the business," Roper said.
It appears that the other two victims were also UPS employees. Their identities and the identities of the shooter will not be released until family members are notified.
There were no other injuries and police did not fire any shots.
Roper said police will be interviewing family, friends and witnesses to discover a motive. Multiple witnesses will be taken to another location for counseling support and interviews.
The UPS facility is locked down so authorities can gather evidence and process the scene.
Chief Roper said the shooting is "extremely troubling for the city, for these families that are involved because when these people came to work today they had no idea this would be their last day on earth."
"They were just people working at their job, for them to lose their lives is very sad. Violence is never the answer," he continued.
The UPS Customer Center is in the 4600 block of Inglenook Lane off of East Lake Boulevard near the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport.

Hope and change working as planned.
He went "Postal"!
Is this the result of the Gov's war on pharma delivery?
I bet they lost his new iPhone.
Crap.. I was comfortable with the “going postal” idiom.
So what now?
Going UPS.. Going FedEx?
How ‘bout just “Going Delivery”?

Yeah... what is it about these delivery places that attracts psycho killers?
It's kinda like trailer parks attracting tornados.
How about just "going crazy"?
Deep recession + Christmas/Thanksgiving Season + Job Stress [in the private sector] = Bad JuJu
In Australia they say: "He went round the twist!"
Or so I've been told.
He clearly did not (Heart) Logistics
Never bang another man's woman, esp. one you work with.
UPS and "customer service" are kind of oxymorons.
He went United!
"He went United!"
Good one.. inside joke.. maybe better phrased “Going Continental”.
Apropos correlation.
Can't wait to see "Robbie Parker" later on the teevee mourning the loss of his brother....
Maybe Alex Israel (aka Katie Foley) can make a cameo too.
There's plenty of crap going on. You don't need to make up more.

He went "UPS"!
FedX Kennesaw GA
UPS Birmingham AL
= FEDUP
Think he went Corporate Postal.
Brown is not a good color for uniforms.
Looks more "faux" postal. UPS are union boys at least the drivers. Birmingham is a real shithole too.
In college I unloaded UPS trucks part time. They made us join the Teamsters to work there. It was a screw.
OR, maybe "He went Parcel !"
"police did not fire any shots."
You know they are pissed about that...
Why does this only happen in America? Seriously, explain yourself Yanks?
Educate yourself before you go shooting off your mouth again.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rampage_killers_(workplace_killings)
8 of the top 15 in the Americas took place in the USA. Narrowing it down to N.America, 8 of 9 took place here. We're still the one!
It happens in China all the time, usually with a knife.
And India.
And sometimes with a knife and a golf club.
Most of them are false-flags, designed to overturn our Second Amendment and apparently you have fallen for the ruse. Of them all, Sandy Hook is probably the most laughable.
Geez, stfu. You and the other 4 idiots who upvoted you. You're really too stupid to exist on this planet.
And please, please don't vote.
If ignorance is bliss, then you must be very happy.

I guess you missed this little gem Babaloo.
Were you too busy felating your rabbi?
"false flags"...
Go get yourself some help 'TeamDepends'.
they are not false flag events. this shows a childish level of understanding of reality.
It's like this.. Life sucks in corperate america and the lad got despondent. "These parcels and boxes, i deliver them all but the next day all these parcels and boxes are here again and i have to repeat the routine over. And then the next day. Then the day after that. I never make progress"
"Violence is never the answer." Chief Wiggum in Birmingham, tell that to the Ferguson police, to the folks at Kraft who organized the Boston Bombing, to the NYPD who attacked Occupy Wall Street demonstrators and to the Mad Bomber, Obummer.
Good Lord it wasn't a joint operation of ISIS, Khorasan and Iran aimed at the destruction of the US and Israel was it.
BOMBS THE FUCK AWAY.
What is it about handling parcels that makes people go on killing sprees?
They keep coming and coming and coming. IT'S NON-STOP!!!

"They keep coming and coming and coming. IT'S NON-STOP!!!"
Yeah, its not fun anymore after the 2nd one.
In '94, I took a part time Christmas job loading UPS trucks. Given my experience, I'm suprised they don't have more shootings.
Because they are imagining what kind of cool things that are in that parcel, that they can't afford to buy?
Not even close! I've worked in a couple of USPS sorting facilities. The only reason people are still used is because robot technology can't quite handle the various tasks, such as reading barely legible handwriting, packages and letters of completely non-uniform sizes and shapes, etc. Most of the jobs are so mind-numbing, you might as well leave yer brain in the break room. Watching all the union pukes move around in slow motion, you realize that your perception of time is completely wrong for the job.
Given all of that, it's still incredible just how many pieces of mail go through the system and arrive on time and usually in one piece!
When people loose everything, people loose it
I hate correcting people. But I hate reading loose more. I have never seen a word spelled wrong more times than LOSE
You means like "looser" or "loost" or "it's" instead or "its" or "your" instead of "you're"
Like dat you mean??
Glad to see I'm not alone. "To," "too," and "two" misuses are also common. "They're," "their," and "there" seems confusing to a lot of people. "A lot" is two words. "Irregardless" is not a word.
Don't get me started.
I normally don't correct people either, because this is an internet forum, and I figure that most people don't edit their posts like they would a formal letter. However, since this little sub-thread is about people correcting each other, 'irregardless' is, in fact a word.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irregardless
It's just a word that annoys the crap out of people.
*Sits and waits to be corrected on something to do with grammar and/or spelling.*
Don't use it. You will be immediately branded a product of our public school system.
Better to keep quiet and have them think I'm an idiot than to speak and confirm their suspicion.
Even Merriam-Webster advises not to use it, and to use "regardless" instead.
The reason "irregardless" is not a legitimate word is that it is a double negative. We don't use those in English.
..as long as the zhconfessional/rantbar is open this morning..
I am sick and tired of seeing the word 'noone' proudly tossed out there everywhere in lieu of 'no one' .. did the entire nation skip elementary English?
..there I said it, I meant it and I'm glad I did..
How about "nooner"?
Twice recently I've seen writers confuse "sliver" and "slither".
It took me back to high school days, and a Physics master who made a remark about the "turbid chaos" of my brain.
Shurley not.
i apologize
@Seasmoke:
"I hate correcting people. But I hate reading loose more. I have never seen a word spelled wrong more times than LOSE"
I'll raise you twice:
there for their and they're AND
your for you're
"Lose" is the point where phonics and spelling break down.
I can see this is going nowhere.
Whole language strikes again. "Oo" as in moose, goose, choose, etc.
Actually it may already have arrived at nowhere.

I hope this doesn't delay my new iCrap package I'm expecting from AT&T.
That bullet hole in the screen will add some panache.
Street cred.
Time to pass legislation and send out fund raising letters. We have an election coming up people.
Never let a crisis go to waste
I sense ammunition prices surging and more shortages.....
Feinstein and Bloomberg have been busy.
Here we go again.
With customer service like this:
https://plus.google.com/100178088897707358813/about?hl=en&gl=us
It is not surprising.
His wife probably fondled some other UPS postmans package.
Looks like we got an ASS on our hands.
Active Shooter Situation
Well in PA there was a crazy that took out a Trooper. The crazy is now labelled a domestic terrorist by the local / regional media..... Be interesting to watch the spin here..... We have always had crazies, we will always have a means of committing mass murther (machette, vehicle, fertilizer).....
The crossbow was made illegal (to bring into wallend towns) over 700 years ago! And that certainly did not stop the spread of the crossbow. If you lost a battle, and you were a crossbowman, they cut your trigger finger off.
Why they haven't moved the customer service center to Bangladesh yet?
Exactly, why haven't they moved the entire US postal service to India. Would save on pensions.
They have. Thats what the shooting was about.
Another day another HOAX.
All perfectly legal under the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012.
This. Is. A. Government. Hoax.
They ALL are.
Spot on Seize,
It's open season on the Sheep with all out PsyOp, False Narratives & Propaganda. Why don't you kindly explain to the posters what exactly the Smith Mundt Act was?
On July 2, a little noticed “reform” passed in January went into effect. The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, passed as part of the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, will allow the CIA to flood America with more government.
Enactment of the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act underscores the fact the CIA no longer pretends to honor its charter and refrains from flooding the media with government propaganda. “The evaporation of Smith-Mundt and other provisions to safeguard U.S. citizens against government propaganda campaigns is part of a larger trend within the diplomatic and military establishment,” ace reporter Michael Hastings wrote in May, 2012, more than a year before his assassination.

you'r having a break with reality; this is not a government hoax; it's the action of an individual having a break with reality.
The door to the UPS Center, does it have a sign that says 'NO WEAPONS ALLOWED" OR "NO GUNS"?
Yep, they are a gun free zone.
Wasn't me by the way - I'm about 20 miles south. North side is the bad side of town.
Looks like it was a 45 year old white male that got fired the day before.
Another fella from Project MKUltra?
Names change to protect the guilty, so Ultra, Mockingbird or whatever MC program is serving as the title for this bit of silliness, the MO remains the same... nearly everytime, with so many different programs 'installed', isn't that interesting? Perhaps we should look at it like all the rest of our 'earth changes' data sets to see if the pattern is turning into yet another parabolic curve.... yet to reach its 'peak'... which is said be be 'collective' in nature, necessary for the MSM to report the planned 'holiday', which is needed for the declaration of martial law. Traders are pepared for that, right? Mother Nature's curves are all going parabolic, just like her plagues as well, and for the few interested in what's left of our history after the oligarchs have had their way with it, it does tell us that it is the massive spread of disease that does the most damage, not a few MCs going 'postal' when the are 'accidentally' or not, triggered. Fun and games, right?
Why can't these idiots/dolts that want to go on shooting rampages, focus their enegy on the real source of their problems?
Bankers, politicians, & lobbyists/lawyers are what you guys need to be wasting your time and energy on.
Shooter=husband
Victim #1 = wife
Victim #2 + wife's lover
?????????
That's my guess.
Shooter = Fired Employee
Victim #1 = Former Supervisor
Victim#2 = Butthead that snitched on'em.
Conveniently diverting attention away from a bombing campaign...
Its a lie. UPS centers are well-known gun-free zones.
And there are signs at both the front AND back doors clearly stating as much!
Dang it I got beat to the Neumann references!
The logistics war must be hotting up...is this a Fed Ex move or one from DHL/TNT ?
Alternatively, maybe this is a result of a trojan horse virus implanted in the Colt handgun by the NRA which makes us all have an "irrepressible urge" to pull the trigger.
I have my conspiracy theory hat screwed tight on my head.
Shooter=husband
Victim #1 = wife
Victim #2 = wife's lover
?????????
That's my guess.
Sad that 3 people are dead, but "UPS customer service" is an oxymoron.
www.traderzoo.mobi
Heard a report not long ago where the postal service was receiving machine guns and military gear. Maybe they were practicing and had an accident.
This is what happens when you take someone's stapler without asking.
Someone's package late?
Somebody settled a case of "Adultery" the old fashion way.....
At the Postal Service, they just shoot each other--not customers.
Another reason not to like UPS.
The article said all three were UPS employees.
To live in reality is to suffer. Why you had to kill those motherfuckers? Let them suffer.
I hope they didn't get any blood on my packages that would be really inconvenient for me.
Domestic violence in a public place.
So, bottom line, will this delay my package?
Only 3?
What a bunch of
Unreliable
People
Shooters.
Maybe they should have outsourced it to Asia, like for that V-Tech incident.
