The man, identified as Phillip Perea, was handing out fliers, saying his former employer had "ended my career" and that the news channel had ruined his life, a police official told the Wall Street Journal. The 41-year-old had previously worked at a Fox News affiliate in Austin, Texas. The Journal, also owned by News Corp., is in the same building.

Comment: Sounds like the House of Saud is nothing but a den of psychopaths. No wonder they're such close allies with the US.
