Racist hothead’ kills five

A FACTORY worker known as a “racist hothead” who talked about killing people opened fire with a shotgun at an aircraft parts plant, leaving five fellow employees dead before committing suicide.

Dozens of employees at the aircraft parts plant in Meridian, Mississippi, frantically ran for cover yesterday after Doug Williams, dressed in a black T-shirt and camouflage pants, started firing. The rampage occurred after Williams attended a meeting on workplace ethics.

Nine people were injured, including one critically.
