Police: Fired UPS employee kills 2 ex-colleagues

A man who was fired a day earlier from delivery service UPS put on his work uniform, drove to an Alabama package sorting center and killed two managers, police and the company said Wednesday.

The shooter, identified by police as Kerry Joe Tesney, lay dead atop his gun from what police said was a self-inflicted wound.

The shooter entered after about 80 drivers had left for the day to deliver packages, UPS said, possibly avoiding even more bloodshed.

"It was a relatively small crew that was remaining," said Steve Gaut, a spokesman for the shipping company.

Pastor Bill Wilks of North Park Baptist Church described the 45-year-old Tesney, who was married with two children, as having been troubled over his work and financial situation.

"In his own spirit he's been troubled, and he's asked for prayer about that," Wilks said.

"He's just a guy who went through his trials at work. Certainly we have prayed for him," Wilks said.
