BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – A gunman opened fire on a room where immigrants were taking a citizenship exam in downtown Binghamton on Friday, killing as many as 13 people before committing suicide, officials said.
Gov. David Paterson said at a news conference that 12 or 13 people had been killed. The suspected gunman carried identification with the name of 42-year-old Jiverly Voong of nearby Johnson City, N.Y., a law enforcement official said.
The suspect's body was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in an office of the American Civic Association building, said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly and was talking on condition of anonymity.
The gunman barricaded the rear door of the building with his car before entering through the front door, firing his weapon, the official said.
Vice President Joe Biden, speaking at an event in New York, told the crowd that someone entered a room where an examination was being given from immigrants to become U.S. citizens, then shot and killed 12 or 13 people. -yahoo
Racism, hatred and senseless violence continues in Amerikkka. These so-called Immigrants in search of the Amerikkkan dream was cut short today by the hate of one man. Many of our people from the third world come here looking to get away from their corrupt gov'ts, to get away from poverty all in hopes of making it in the belly of the beast. They followed the rules of the land and were in route to becoming U.S Citizens, but the reality is violence follows us where ever we go. Lets take a moment to mourn those fallen soldiers, men, woman, fathers, and mothers gun down in search of a dream.
