3/23/05 Arlington, IL – Man Takes Manager Hostage

Tylon Cole was an employee of Planned Plumbing when he entered a heated argument with two of his supervisors at around 5 a.m. He took out a handgun and fired into the air. When a manager told Cole to calm down, he shot a supervisor, who was lying on the floor, twice in the leg. He then ordered the manager to drive him to Elgin where he then fled. He was later apprehended by law enforcement. The manager was taken to the hospital for suffering from chest pains.

there are alot of holes in this story. the manager having chest pains.....watever.....i know they guy was wrong for what he did but ppl take something and blow it way out of context. if the guy was having issues then it was the supervisors responsibility to make sure working conditions for all his employees were ok and not just for some, do i condone wat the guy did, no but i sure the supervisors could have done something to prevent this.
