Five people are dead and several others wounded. The gunman .. is believed to be a former Navistar employee who was fired several years ago...for conspiracy to commit theft. Julio Negron worked with him for over twenty years. Julio Negron/Navistar employee: He was a nice guy, easy to get along with, friendly. I don't know why he did it. Maybe he was angry because he was fired. May be it stuck in his mind and he wanted revenge. Evacuated employees huddled at the plant gates, a plant which boasts strict security.
