A man seeking employment at a Brooklyn iron shop opened fire on Monday when he was turned down — injuring at least two people — and then fatally shot himself in the head following a standoff, police sources and witnesses told The Post. The gunfire erupted around 11 a.m. at 13th Street and Hamilton Place, on the border of industrial Gowanus and trendy Park Slope. One victim was shot in the torso and is in critical condition, and at least one other person was shot, sources said. The shooter took his own life after holing up in the office with a gun to his head for two hours. Police cleared the building and found a suspicious device that was deemed safe. Marcos Chantes, 34, had just started his Monday morning routine at C&A Iron Works in Gowanus when he saw a man come in looking for a job.

Probably a viewer of MSNBC who believed he had a “Right” to a job and that everything wrong in his life was whitey’s fault

I’m sure they’ll revoke his gun permit for doing that.

Interesting that he apparently took a gun with him when he went job hunting. Of course, one can never tell for sure any more considering the educational level of those that write news articles.

Did he think that the gun would change their minds and convince them he was a good candidate for an employee?

They probably told him that they were holding the job for one of Miss Piggy Pelosi’s Kiddie Krusade Invaders.

What caliber do you use when job hunting? Did he have a license to hunt jobs? What are the daily and size limits when you go job hunting?

Clearly the guy took the term “job hunting” too literally.

I bet some of the low information voters don’t look for work because a license for hunting (jobs) is not allowed in their state or area.
