As of now this is rumor but it comes from the son of an employee (I know two people who work there) - the shooter is a moslem.

Overheard an incredible conversation between a man (anti-gun) and woman (pro-gun, owned one) yesterday. They appeared to be co-workers, perhaps at a convention. She even told the guy she was mugged years ago. Among his responses was “the worst that happened to you is you lost $30. With a gun, the worst that could happen to you is you are killed.” She seemed too nice to put him in the sleeper hold but his logic (he said he was from Chicago) was so warped. He even cited “drunk guys from Arizona...that is who want to own guns, right”

...he said he was from Chicago...

I grew up about 20 minutes from the South Side of Chicago. Pretty much everybody in the city is brain-dead brain-less anti-firearm. No logic, all "whatever the democrat party tells us" talking points.

Protesting Koran burning no doubt.

“2 dead at Kraft plant, woman arrested”

By Robert Moran
INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

“...identified by co-workers as Yvonne Hiller - who was taken into custody by SWAT after a standoff on the second floor of the plant at 12000 Roosevelt Blvd., police said.”

SNIPPET: “By 11:30 p.m., three police crusiers were blocking traffic on the quiet 600 block of Carver Street, in the city’s Lawncrest section, where the Hiller lives. The brick rowhouse was empty and uniformed officers were waiting for detectives to arrive.”

SNIPPET: “At 8:35 p.m., Hiller, who worked at the plant for 15 years, was suspended from her job and escorted from the premises, said Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey.

Nine minutes later, Hiller drove through a fence surrounding the plant and entered the building armed with a .357 magnum handgun, Ramsey said.”

Shooter identified as ‘Yvonne Hiller.’ She had been working at the plant for 15 years. According to a local news broadcast, she ‘thought co-workers were out to get her,’ and that they ‘were doing weird things to her, like spraying deer urine on her clothes.’

Wonder how long it will take the gun-grabbers to capitalize on this one.

“2 dead, 1 wounded in Kraft plant shooting”
Updated at 12:11 AM today

By DANN CUELLAR, BRIAN TAFF and KATHERINE SCOTT
NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA - September 9, 2010 (WPVI) -

SNIPPET: “Hiller worked in that department of the building and has worked at the plant for 15 years.

Sources say Hiller has been imagining that her coworkers were doing strange things to her including spraying deer urine on her clothing and other instances the company could not confirm.

Sources say Hiller believed the female victim who was shot in the head was her main antagonist.

Reports indicate she was once suspended for using abusive language on a voicemail to a supervisor.

Reports also say coworkers have complained that the suspect was in need of psychiatric help, but the company said the only way she could be forced to receive help was if she threatened someone.”

C’mon Yvonne, that’s just a lame excuse to explain those hoof marks in your bed.

“Co-Worker Calls Alleged Shooter: “Very Spiritual””
By KAREN ARAIZA
Updated 12:15 PM EDT, Fri, Sep 10, 2010

NBCPhiladelphia.com

SNIPPET: “”She’s not a loose cannon. She’s a hard worker, works very hard. She’s very spiritual.”

Kenneth Dorsey says the woman accused of killing two co-workers and critically injuring a third at the Kraft plant in Northeast Philly is a good person. And so were the two women she’s accused of gunning down with a .357 Magnum, just minutes after she’d been suspended and escorted from the building.”

SNIPPET: “The reason Hiller was suspended had not been made public Friday afternoon and while some co-workers said she had a history of run-ins with other workers and management, Dorsey said like anyone, they sometimes had their differences, but always got along.

“We talked about her Muslim faith and I wished her happy Ramadan,” Dorsey said. “I might be wrong, but my guess is she had some people that she had issues with and a personal agenda, a score she had to settle.””
