Wesley N. Higdon called his his girlfriend two hours before the shootings and told her he was going to kill his supervisor. I guess it would have been nice if she had warned someone.... like maybe the supervisor or better yet, the police.

DIXON, Ky. (AP) -- Some in the hometown of a man who opened fire at a plastics plant described him as a "good kid," while others called him a troublemaker and said Thursday that they weren't surprised when he killed himself and five others.

Wesley N. Higdon was prone to retreating inward during long walks around this rural town about 120 miles west of Louisville, said Ann Rigdon, 31, of Dixon, who knew Higdon in high school and called him "weird."
