On December 16, 2011, a gunman opened fire inside a Southern California Edison office building in Irwindale, California. The gunman, Andre Turner, killed two employees, and wounded two others, before committing suicide.

Shooting

Andre Turner, 48, showed up at an office building that primarily houses information technology employees, at his usual work time in the morning. He showed no signs of strange behavior prior to the attack and people weren't even aware of the shooting unfolding. At 1:30 pm, Turner took out a handgun in an office building and shot four people. Two employees died: Henry Serrano, 56, of Walnut, and Robert Lindsay, 53, of Chino Hills, who were both supervisors and worked at the facility for at least twenty years. Angela Alvarez, 46, was critically wounded and Abhay Pimpale, 38, received a gun shot to his thigh. During the shooting rampage, Turner engaged in conversation with his co-workers. Turner then shot himself to death.[1][2][3]

As a result, nearby schools were put on lock down, as were other Southern California Edison offices within a 50-mile radius.

Motive

Records indicated that Turner had a civil judgement against him and was being sued. Turner had also been verbally reprimanded by his boss and was told that his employment was going to be terminated.[2][3]

Fund

SCE started a fund for employees to benefit the victims' families. The company seeded the fund with $100,000 and promised to match employee contributions.[2]
