   Police in the northeastern U.S. state of Connecticut say a disgruntled
   employee  at  a beer distribution firm went on a shooting spree at his
   place of employment, leaving nine people dead including himself.
   A labor union official says the suspect was a driver who had worked at
   the  company, Hartford Distributors.  He apparently went on a rampage
   Tuesday, after being summoned for a disciplinary hearing.
   The shooting took place at 7:30 in the morning at a company warehouse,
   while a large number of people were inside the building during a shift
   change.
   Police  say,  after the rampage, it appears the gunman shot and killed
   himself.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
