Shooting at manufacturing plant

A man returned to the place of his former employment with a shotgun looking for the supervisor who had fired him a year ago. But on October 21st at the Beltservice Corp. in Earth City, MO, it was another worker who was wounded. Pelayo Errasti entered the conveyor belt manufacturing plant around 3:00 pm and shot numerous rounds, destroying computers and going back out to the parking lot to reload. At one point, he spotted his former boss from far off but missed when firing at him. A 61 year old man was running out of an office when he was superficially hit in the hip. According to court records, Errasti apologised for wounding the man, stating that he intended to shoot someone else. About 110 employees were evacuated from the building while emergency law enforcement squads cornered him in a storage area. After a seven hour stand-off and negotiations made through the phone, the gun man surrendered himself to authorities. He was charged with armed criminal action and assault and is being held without bail.
