Cops: Mass workplace shooting averted when gun jams
ORANGE PARK, Fla. -- One person is dead and another injured after a shooting that could have been much worse, according to police.
CBS affiliate WFMY reports that a recently-hired employee of cabinet maker Jacksonville Granite, attempted to fire his weapon at a group of co-workers today, but his gun jammed multiple times. James Cameau, 34, ultimately turned the gun on himself after shooting and injuring one person, according to the Clay County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies said the victim, Dean Hagins, Jr., was in good condition at a local hospital. Cameau did not survive.
Cameau was employed by the company for less than a month, Undersheriff Craig Aldrich said at a press conference. He had been reportedly feeling despondent the past couple days, employees said. He went home during lunch hour and allegedly returned with a semi-automatic pistol a few minutes past noon.

(2,281 posts)I had when using cheap-ass crummy ammo. Which unworthy thought might I have been provoking? I k&Red this because it is a good day when some maniac has his plans foiled by fate. If it was winchester ammo then it wasn't fate though.....trust me.

One good thing about a Bernie win is that the ammo and gun buying frenzy will finally stop when 2A people feel more secure from grabs by ignorant people who always make things worse. Bernie is the guy to do gun control because he doesn't have to sprint for his inhaler and trauma pillow every time he hears a pop.

I told him it was junk, and might blow up in his face.
Haven't seen him or the gun in decades.
