Breaking news right now - there’s apparently been a shooting at the Bank of America Building at LaSalle and Jackson - one dead, one wounded, no status on their condition. They’re (the press) still trying to figure out what happened.

I always think of murder suicides as happening in homes, not in places of business. Two men in their fifties; I wonder what the story on that is?

From what the Police Commissioner said, the company was reorganizing, the shooter had just been demoted earlier this week. He went there today for a “one on one” with the CEO.
