Louisiana: Man critical after being shot by ex-girlfriend
2the Advocate
"A domestic dispute in Addis over a couple's recent break-up landed one man in the hospital early this morning. The dispute came to a violent end when a woman shot her ex-boyfriend after he broke into her home. Dedrick Broussard, 35, was shot on the shoulder and is in critical condition. Chief Ricky Anderson of the Addis Police Department said it was a case of a bitter break-up that led to frequent threats. Anderson said the woman had bought the gun recently because she feared for her safety. According to police, Broussard sat on his ex-girlfriend's front doorstep, talking to her on a cell phone. She wouldn't let him inside, so he broke the door down. That's when shots were fired, and neighbor Angel Dix called 911." (08/04/05)

"It was quite a suprise for Steve Bastible to find a pink slip waiting for him one morning when he arrived at work at the Weyerhaeuser paper mill in the Ouachita Mountains of Oklahoma. He'd been a good worker, hadn't been reprimanded or told he was in any trouble, but suddenly he was walking out the door. He wasn't alone, there were 11 other employees with him, including an even more surprised Jimmy Wyatt, a supervisor at the mill who had been working there 22 years with an exemplary record. There's nothing more valuable to a company than a loyal, long-term employee who they can count on to show up at work and do a good job. Steve Bastible and Jimmy Wyatt were that kind of worker for Weyerhaueser. But as it turned out they had done something more unacceptable than missing a few days of work or having an extra beer and a two-hour lunch. They'd come to work with a gun in their truck. In an unannounced enhancement of their gun-free workplace policy, one Monday morning Weyerhaueser had security officers go through their parking lot with a gun sniffing dog to identify and search employee vehicles for firearms."
