3/17 Port Gibson, Miss Man Kills Attorney Years After Losing Job Due to Sex Harrassment

Carl Brandon, 52 is accused of committing a shooting rampage that killed the an attorney and injured a county employee. Brandon, who had been fired as Claiborne County road manager in 1997, is accused of killing board of supervisors' attorney Allen Burrell and wounding county administrative assistant Loretha Porter between about 8 a.m. and 8:20 a.m. Brandon then surrendered at the sheriff's department about 8:30 a.m. Apparently, the deadly shooting rampage was the culmination of years of anger and frustration over what the shooter believed to be false accusations of sexual harassment. "I don't know how you can consider me a danger. I was made a criminal through the system … The sexual harassment charges made against me were trumped up, yet the system allowed the board of supervisors to take them and run with them,” Brandon said in court.
