Man shoots 4 in Indianapolis workplace

INDIANAPOLIS -- A man who faces attempted murder charges in the Thursday morning shootings of four co-workers at a plant that employs mostly disabled people told police he fired at them over issues of "respect."\nTwo men and two women were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries after the shooting on the city's east side, said Indianapolis Police Lt. Douglas Scheffel.\nThe alleged gunman, Jason Burnam, 24, was charged with four counts of attempted murder and one count of carrying a handgun without a license.\nOfficers arrested Burnam without incident in the cafeteria of Crossroads Industrial Services. They found him armed with a semi-automatic handgun and standing next to a vending machine, said Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Chief Michael Spears.\nScheffel said the gun was fired seven times inside the business.\nBurnam has no criminal history in Indianapolis, Scheffel said. His mother, Judy Burnam, said her son is taking antidepressants to combat his bipolar depression and seemed fine when she dropped him off for work in the morning.\nThe shooting occurred just after the start of the work day at the plant, which subcontracts light manufacturing jobs for companies. When police arrived after the 6:30 a.m. shooting, about 25 workers standing outside the business told officers that a gunman was inside.\nWhen officers asked Burnam, a production worker, why he had shot an office manager and three fellow production workers, he said "it was over respect," and indicated that the four he targeted were the people "he was having problems with," Scheffel said.
