NASA shooting

A space engineer killed a co-worker and himself at NASA's Johnson Space Center friday, acted after receiving a negative job review from his victim, police said on Saturday. Houston Police said the contract worker, Bill Phillips, initially wounded NASA quality control engineer David Beverly with gunshots and left the room, then killed Beverly as he was trying to barricade a door to keep Phillips from returning. "The suspect blamed Mr. Beverly," for the weak job review, Hurtt said.
