(June 25, 2008)--The man who opened fire early Wednesday at a western Kentucky plastics plant warned his girlfriend two hours before the rampage that he would kill his boss.
Wesley Higdon, 25, of Henderson, Ky. shot five co-workers to death before turning the gun on himself early Wednesday.
Authorities say Higdon had an argument with his supervisor about wearing safety goggles Tuesday night, and then called his girlfriend and said he was going to kill his boss.
Officials say he killed the supervisor outside the building, and then went back inside and kept shooting in a break room and on the plant floor.
Then, he killed himself.
Another person was wounded, and is hospitalized.

Another weak headed moron gives law abiding gun owners a bad name. Sorry about all those killed and condolences to their families. And glad he shot himself so we don't have to spend a dime in court and prison costs. Cowardly punk.
