KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Reuters) - The mother of a man who killed three co-workers before shooting himself in a workplace rampage has asked the company to compensate her for her son's death because it occurred at work, the company said on Tuesday.

 

 

 

Modine Manufacturing Co. has turned down the request by Nina Tichelkamp-Russell, the mother of the 25-year-old gunman Jonathon Russell, company spokesman Mick Lucareli said. But the claim must still be reviewed by the state, he said.

 

 

Russell's mother filed a claim seeking death benefits under the workers' compensation system, which provides financial payments to injured workers or the families of workers killed on the job, Lucareli said.

 

 

Tichelkamp-Russell could not be reached for comment.

 

 

The company quickly approved the claims filed by the families of Russell's victims, but Modine has no intention of compensating the gunman's family, Lucareli said.

 

 

"This is probably an odd situation. It certainly caught us by surprise," he said.

 

 

Police said Russell brought a Glock semiautomatic handgun to work on the night shift at the plant near Jefferson City, Missouri on July 1. Police said Russell appeared to target certain colleagues as he walked from station to station spraying bullets.

 

 

A 44-year-old man and a 29-year-old man died on the plant floor, while a 42-year-old man died on the way to a hospital. Five others were taken to hospitals with injuries.

 

 

Russell shot and killed himself after an exchange of gunfire with police.

 

Man that mom must be dumber then her son if she thinks that the workplace should give her compensation or she's just a greedy bitch or both.

She's got a point, you know.

 

Besides, think about it -- SHE'S LOST A CHILD.

 

Now open up your checkbook Modine Manufacturing Co.

 

This reminds me of that shootout in LA where the one shooter's family sued the city because the paramedics didn't save him. BTW: What ever happened to that lawsuit?

 

EDIT: How'd I do Naitch?...

F*ck you then. There wasn't much to work with here.

 

Want me to blame the Jews or something?

 

Maybe OMG-MOORE-BOUNCE-TO-THE-OUNCE-LOL2003! will put this into his next "documentary" and, with some clever editing, not only make it look like Charlton Heston said he approved of this shooting, but also somehow blame Bush for not forcing this evil company to give the mom some cash.

 

Oh yeah -- it's Racist Dusty's fault, too...

Well she spelled his fucking name wrong. That's the whole problem right there.
