13 Dead, 4 Injured

42 year old Jiverly Wong killed 13 people and severely injured 4 on Friday. The shooting occured at the American Civic Association in Binghamton, New York where immigrants were preparing to take their American citizenship tests. Wong himself was an immigrant from Vietnam who lived in Johnson City, New York.

The article states, "Armed with the two handguns and wearing a green jacket, the gunman came out of the rain through the glass front doors of the center, entering a reception area where he encountered two secretaries. He said nothing and shot both. One slumped dead, but the other, Shirley DeLucca, pretended to be dead, and as the gunman walked on she crawled to a desk and called 911." After shooting his gun at others, Wong shot himself. Police are still trying to find out the reasons for his actions.
