The police swarmed Co-op City, the Bronx housing complex, at 8AM with reports of a triple shooting. It turned out that a disgruntled former employee shot and killed an employee in a basement office and then shot two other people on his way out.
The shooter, identified as 50-year-old Paulino Valenzula, surrendered after the shooting; the NY Times reports he "took a bus to the Bronx Criminal Court building" where he turned himself in. Valenzula was fired from his job a year ago but sued to get his job back, but lost that case this week. Co-op City is managed by the Riverbay company.
Co-op City is the largest cooperative housing development in the world - it even produces its own power. It was built on top of the former amusement park Freedomland and opened in 1968.





Let see: " My job's in the crapper, might as well shoot the old boss and make sure the rest of my life is totally wasted . . ."
These morons are reason enough for gun controls. Save them from their moronic selves!
I'm glad to see what a lovel. well manicured sidewalk they have up there. Co-op city was a bad idea from the beginning. The city gets what it deserves for approving that place.
I love the guy, holds a grudge for over 2 years.
of course, the arbitrator will be against you.
I expect more of these incidents happening. all you bosses watch your six. You can only keep us down and out for so long,
we've got nothing in common, nothing to lose,
molon labe.
