Chilling details from Contra Costa Times on the shootings yesterday:
The long day began at 4 a.m. in a trailer where workers and supervisors met each morning. Allman took a stance he had practiced at area shooting ranges, where he often went with his .40-caliber handgun. Then he methodically moved down a line of co-workers, firing at each one until they fell, then moving to the next as if he were taking target practice, authorities said.
Authorities identified the dead as Mark Muñoz, 59, of San Jose, John Vallejos, 51, of San Jose, and Manuel Guadalupe Piñon, 48, of Newman, all employees of Lehigh.
“He pulled out a Glock and just shot everybody and kept on shooting,” said Mike Ambrosio, 45, a union shop steward who was shot in the arm.
Allman then retrieved an AK-47 assault rifle he had brought with him to the quarry, apparently intent on settling grievances over his safety record as a truck driver at the plant. Then, when the shooting stopped, he disappeared into the darkness in a 1999 Mercury hatchback, until shortly before 7 a.m., when he abandoned his car at a Pho restaurant on Homestead Road.
