US University Employee Kills Co-Worker
An employee of a large university in the U.S. state of Ohio has shot and killed a co-worker and wounded another before taking his own life.
Officials say the employee, Nathaniel Brown, entered a maintenance building Tuesday at Ohio State University and opened fire, killing a building services manager and wounding an operations shift leader.
Police say Brown then shot and killed himself on the scene.
No students were hurt and classes went on as scheduled.
Police have not determined a motive for the shooting. But media reports say Brown, a 51-year-old university custodian, may have been disgruntled about a poor work evaluation.
Ohio State University President E. Gordon Gee said in a statement that everyone at the school was shocked and saddened by the shooting. He said the safety of students and staff remains a top priority for the university.

An Ohio State University employee allegedly killed a co-worker before committing suicide on Tuesday morning. The suspect was Nathaniel Brown, a 51-year-old custodial worker who has worked at the University since October. The victim of the shooting was Larry Wallington, a 48-year-old building service manager. Another employee, Henry Butler, was also shot, but survived and is in stable condition at a nearby hospital.  

According to officials, the shooting took place at 3:30 A.M. local time. Brown is said to have walked into a maintenance building with two handguns, and then commenced firing.  Although police say that there were six men in the room at the time, only Wallington and Butler were shot. Within an hour of the shooting, a text message was sent out to about 25,000 students and faculty on campus alerting them of what had happened.  

Information gathered following the shooting has revealed that Brown was unemployed and struggling to pay his mortgage prior to his employment at Ohio State. Although a neighbor described him as "happy to be back at work," Brown's tenure at Ohio State ended quickly. Brown had learned from a recent letter from the school that he was going to be let go as of March 13. The letter went on to say that he had gotten an "unsatisfactory" job evaluation, and that was why he was being dismissed.
