Depressed Wong kills 13 and himself

Jiverly Wong was 41 years old on the day that he killed 13 people and then took his own life. He is now being described as a "coward" by Police Chief Joseph Zikuski.

People that knew Wong were not surprised by his violent massacre. One woman, who knew Wong said "Zikuski said Wong was depressed about his poor English-speaking skills, which he believed he was being teased about, and his recent unemployment.
People 'degraded and disrespected' the gunman over his inability to speak English well, Zikuski said on NBC's "Today" show."

Wong, who lived with his mother, father, and sister, worked at a place called Shop-Vac and recently lost his job there; he believed the bad luck would never end and was unhappy with the $200 weekly unemployment checks.

The shooting occurred April 3 at the American Civic Association where Wong "opened fire Friday morning on workers and immigrants taking citizenship courses at a community center" and was thoroughly thought-out beforehand. The victims had multiple gun wounds from Wong's two registered hand guns. Wong barricaded the back door of the community center with his car before opening fire on those inside.
