Gunman opened fire at NASA building, police say

POSTED: 5:03 p.m. EDT, April 20, 2007

HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) -- NASA evacuated a building at the Johnson Space Center in Houston after an employee with a gun was seen and a shot was fired, a NASA spokesman said Friday.
A SWAT team with the Houston Police has been dispatched to building 44 on the Johnson Space Center property, a source told CNN. Building 44 holds a laboratory.
The call for help came in to the Houston Police at 1:40 p.m. (2:40 p.m. ET) but it's unclear who made that call.
NASA spokesman James Hartfield said all of the employees that would have been in that building have been evacuated.
There is "extremely tight security" at Johnson Space Center, Hartfield said.
A NASA spokesperson told CNN that all employees have been told to go home for the day.
Space Center Intermediate School, less than a mile south of building 44, has been locked down, said Karen Permetti, spokeswoman for Clear Creek Independent School District.
She said the school lets out at 4 p.m. (5 p.m. ET) and parents have been asked not to come to the school to pick up their children.
The school has about 1,200 students, according to the school district.

Looks like someone in Houston shouldn't have been allowed to own a gun.

Just days after the Virgina Tech massacre and subsequent discussions on the pros and cons of gun control, a NASA contract engineer shot his coworker today on charges that his performance review was bad. A woman was held hostage by being tied to a chair during this episode. He brought the gun to work after printing out his performance review. NASA intends to increase security even as increased campus security is being discussed. How do we prevent more such shootings, asks the president.

Johnson Space Center is managed by Science Applications International Corporation, a major military-intelligence contractor, which also happens to have a large facility in Fairfax near Virginia Tech. Its only a coincidence.
