9/26 Warwick, NY Former Employee, Fired for Child Pornography, Returned to Shoot 3 Supervisors then Self

Victor M. Piazza, 55, returned to his former workplace after he was fired 19 months ago to shoot 3 bosses before killing himself with a .38-caliber revolver. He was a quality control manager at ,Verla International, a nail polish factory when he was fired when they found child pornography on his computer at work. The previous Friday, Mr. Piazza was charged with violating his probation when officers showed up unannounced and found an open bottle of vodka and adult pornographic DVDs in his bedroom. There charges would most likely led to his detention. The two co-owners and other office manager survived but the latter is in very critical condition. "I don't remember anything unusual about him except that his wife was afraid of him," said Orange County Assistant District Attorney Robert Ostrov, who prosecuted the child pornography case. "She didn't want her daughter spending time with him. She thought he was dangerous." May of the employees of Verla also said they were not shocked Piazza was behind the shootings.
