and also claimed to have explosives, Sheriff Steve Bizzell said.

This is always a crock. It seems everytime the perp says " I'll blow you away" they claim explosives.

A woman apparently upset about the firing of a friend took at least five people hostage at a Caterpillar heavy-equipment plant Tuesday

Yeah, okay, that'll help her friend get and keep a job.

With 'friends' like this, who needs enemies?

Tah Ray Zah probably owns it or paid for it anyway.

I can picture the conversation of her buying him the shotgun:

JfK: (In a whiney little voice) "TahRayZah, honey, everybody thinks I'm a sissy. Will you buy me a shotgun, please, pretty please?"

TahRayZah: (sighing) "yes, dear, I'll buy you a shotgun so you can pretend to be a man."

JfK: (smiling and clapping his hands together) "Oh, goody! I think I'll go outside and play now."

TahRayZah: "yes dear."

TahRayZah: (moments later, with a look of horror on her face), leaning out the front door, yelling) "John! You put that football down! RIGHT NOW!"

I don't think I would want any friends that would do that for me.

It's a Cat plant. Aren't they heavily unionized? Maybe she stopped five other morons from voting.

I'll wait for the exit polls. :)

Cat is a big union shop, at least in their Illinois operations. Wouldn't surprise me if the fired person and/or the loony hostage-taker were unionettes.
