Larry Hansel, a technician who'd been laid off from Elgar, a San Diego-based electronics company, shot out the company switchboard and set off homemade bombs. They were diversionary tactics. As fire scorched the walls and employees scrambled for cover, Hansel wielded a 12-gauge shotgun and searched the second-floor corridors for executives on his hit list. He found at least some of the victims he was looking for. Hansel shot and killed a vice president and a sales manager. Then, as stunned employees looked on, he calmly mounted his bike and pedaled away, a shotgun tucked under one arm."
