硅谷大陆人工程师遭解雇 枪杀三同事后逃逸

作者:

因被解雇,加州圣克拉拉(Santa Clara)华人男子疑似报复雇主,枪杀两男一女。

圣克拉拉警方说,枪杀发生在当地office park史考特大道3255号的第7号办公楼里,时间是11月14日当地时间下午4点。警方还没有公布三名死者的姓名,只知道是枪手的三个前同事。

有目击者对警方称,枪手是Mountain View镇47岁的华人男子吴京华(Jing Hua Wu,音译)。目前有40名警察在寻找吴,不过一直还不知道他的去向。吴京华来自中国大陆。

一名叫Sellers的圣克拉拉警官说,吴周四或周五早上被解雇。他说,吴有5英尺7英寸高,重170磅,黑色眼睛和头发,最后看到他时,他坐在一辆银色的SUV里,可能是租借的Mercury Mountaineer。

Sellers说:“他身上有枪,情绪崩溃,是个极度危险的人。”


吴京华该办公楼是无晶圆半导体公司SiPort的所在地,而该公司的员工名录上也有一名Wu姓雇员。

圣克拉拉(Santa Clara)是位于美国加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉县的一座城市,也是硅谷的重要组成城市之一,许多高科技企业诸如英特尔、昇阳、Applied Materials、NVIDIA的总部都位于该市。根据美国人口调查局2000年统计,圣克拉拉共有人口102,361人,其中白人占55.59%、亚裔美国人占29.27%、非裔美国人占2.29%。

SiPort是一家仅创建4年的创业型公司,公司网站上称,该公司2005年获得第一轮融资。纽约金融危机的影响正在席卷加州的硅谷,当天知名IT企业SUN刚宣布裁员6000人,Google的内部备忘录显示,该公司也开始裁掉“工作不努力”的员工。

SiPort公司网站上显示,该公司管理层(或股东)有一名华人T. W. Kang。他是管理咨询公司“Global Synergy Associates”的执行经理(Managing Director)。

同一办公楼里另一家公司“Excel Precision”的办公室经理安尼·杨(Annie Yang)说:“四点左右,我们听到叫喊声,然后看到警察冲进楼里来。”

杨说她没有听清叫喊的内容,因为楼里有数家公司,她当时也不知道叫喊来自哪家公司,稍后她听到直升飞机在办公楼上空盘旋。“警察让我们躲在办公室里,不要出来,所以也不知道外面究竟发生了什么。”

Three dead in Santa Clara office park shooting

(11-14) 18:30 PST SANTA CLARA, CA. -- Santa Clara police investigating a triple homicide at an office park in their city said they are looking for a Mountain View man recently fired from that company.

Santa Clara police Lt. Mike Sellers told reporters that investigators are searching for Jing Wu, a 47-year-old man from Mountain View in connection with the shooting.

Sellers said police dispatchers received a 911 call at 3:53 p.m. reporting multiple gunshots in the office park. Police responded rapidly and found the three deceased victims in an office area. After searching the office, police locked down and swept adjacent buildings.

Sellers did not name the company where the shooting happened, but the address released by police is the home of the four-year-old semiconductor company SiPort Inc. A Jing Wu is listed as working at that company in an online business network. The listing showed him as a lead product test engineer.

Calls to his Mountain View address and to SiPort went unanswered. Investigators spent several hours investigating people in the closed office park; by 7 p.m. some of those people were allowed to leave.

Police said Wu had recently been fired from the company, and Sellers said investigators are exploring that as a possible motive in the shooting. No names of victims - two men and a woman - have been released; Sellers told reporters it is believed a handgun was used in the shooting.

Police said Wu might have fled in a silver SUV.

"We heard somebody screaming, shouting around 4 o'clock," said Annie Yang, office manager of Excel Precision, another company in the same office complex. "But after that, we just saw the police running in our area."

Yang said she hadn't heard any words in the screaming or any shots. There are several buildings in the complex, and she was not sure where the incident happened.

"We don't know anything outside. The police just asked us to stay inside," she said, adding that she could hear police helicopters overhead.

Employees at other companies, however, were unaware anything was happening until told by police.

"We were all very surprised that someone was murdered," said Pete Delaney, a software developer for Tensilica, a company near the scene. He said he was in a meeting with fellow employees when the police arrived and told them they were safe, but would need to show their drivers' licenses before being allowed to leave the complex.

Asha Agrawal, wife of SiPort CEO Sid Agrawal, said she hadn't been able to reach her husband and was trying to find out if he was safe.

"My friend is waiting there, but he cannot find out anything," she said.

Reached at home, SiPort spokesman Sunder Velamuri said he could offer no details about the shooting because police were still completing their work.

"This is a huge shock," he said. "We don't know all the details yet."

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call (408) 615-4700 .
