Here’s another case of someone who clearly didn’t think through their life of crime. Authorities went door to door with guns drawn Wednesday in search of a disgruntled employee they say opened fire at a Northern California limestone quarry, killing three and wounding six, before possibly wounding another woman in an attempted carjacking. Schools were on lockdown or closed in the Silicon Valley city of Cupertino and nearby Los Gatos as SWAT teams sought Shareef Allman, 47. Allman was at a routine safety meeting at the quarry at about 4:30 a.m. when he became disgruntled and left, Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Lt. Rick Sung said. He then returned with a handgun and rifle and started shooting people, Sung said. Sheriff Laurie Smith said two people were pronounced dead at Permanente Quarry in Cupertino, and a third person died later at the hospital. Six others at the quarry were wounded and taken to area hospitals, Smith said. Some of them remained in critical condition, she said. About 15 workers were evacuated and being kept at a safe location. Authorities located Allman’s vehicle and have seized four weapons believed to belong to the suspect, Smith said. “The challenges are the big geographical area,” she said. “The challenges are that he’s armed.” Around 7 a.m., authorities received a 911 call that a woman was shot in an attempted carjacking near Hewlett-Packard Co.’s Cupertino campus by a man matching Allman’s description. The shooter then fled on foot. He used a weapon similar to the gun used in the quarry shooting, and authorities were including the female carjacking victim in the official count of Allman’s victims, bringing the total injured to seven. Brother Shareef? We hope you realize you’re a dead man walking. In addition to all of the other families who’s lives he already effed up, Allman – who moonlighted as a cable access host – had a family of his own. In fact he has a son who shares his name. Who will now forever be persecuted because of Brother Shareef’s selfishness. SMH. Source
