Former Employee Fatally Shoots 2 at Houston Auto Repair Shop, Police Say

A former employee of a Houston auto repair shop killed two people there Friday afternoon before turning the gun on himself, police said. The man walked into Bemer Plus in the 14300 block of South Post Oak Road about 4 p.m. and gunned down two employees before walking out into the yard and fatally shooting himself, Executive Assistant police Chief Troy Finner said.It's unclear if the man targeted the two employees. There were other people, including customers, in the shop at the time, Finner said. It's "very, very sad this time of year — and any part of the year — [when] we lose three citizens," he said. "I just ask our great citizens of this city to pray for each victim here and their families."The two victims were identified Sunday as Kendric Wade and Mary McGehee, according to the Houston Chronicle . The gunman was identified as Daniel Ferraretto. Wade had worked at the store for about 20 years, and McGehee for five. Wade's brother-in-law, Martin Cameron, said Ferraretto may have been targeting the owner who dived out the window, the Chronicle reported. Ferraretto's daughter told KHOU-TV that he had been going through a tough time, drinking often and sleeping in his car. She said he told her Thursday night that his "life is going to end very soon," the station reported. The daughter said the man had worked on and off at the shop for years.   Continue reading...
