Cops arrest fired worker...

San Jose police Wednesday morning arrested a man they say was on his way to his termination meeting at a local recycling center with a loaded gun and after leaving his family with a chilling message: This is the last time you will ever see me.

In this case, a union representative at Waste Solutions received a call around 9:45 a.m. from the suspect's panicked son. He told the rep that his father had left his Modesto home earlier in the morning in his blue Chevy truck with a gun in his waistband. He was upset and was suggesting that he was soon going to be dead.

The union representative called police.

Thinking of SiPort, patrol Sgt. Eric Phan and his team — filled with seasoned officers — scrambled. The grievance meeting was scheduled for 10 a.m. Along with engaging Modesto police to check out the man, who it turned out had no major criminal history, they called the San Jose company. Officers urged Waste Solutions that it lock its doors and get its employees to safety.
