The Los Angeles County coroner's office has confirmed the names of the three people who who died in Friday's shooting at Southern California Edison office in Irwindale. The shooter has been identified as Andre Turner, 48, of Norco. Coroner officials confirm that he committed suicide after shooting several of his Edison co-workers on Friday. Turner killed Henry Serrano, 56, of Walnut, and Robert Lindsay, 53, of Chino Hills. For more details please visit Los Cerritos Community News at www.loscerritosnews.net

Still very sad situation in Irwindale. I got a call from the Media Department at Southern California Edison at 5:15 a.m. on Saturday morning, and was given this update that I posted on the Los Cerritos Community News Website.

God Bless the families of the victims....

Anonymous said...: I am an SCE employee, and posting these comments under a pseudonym.

Southern California Edison is a company that runs on FEAR. Managers bully their employees to perform. Bullying ranges from in-your-face yelling and making violent gestures, to more subtle, persistent forms, like making jokes at an employee's expense; discrediting or maligning employees at meetings attended by hundreds of people; applying uneven performance standards among his or her reports; or going out of the way to omit an individual when handing out kudos to a particular group.

Based on my own experiences, what I've observed, and what I've heard from colleagues, I believe Turner's actions were the result of ongoing, systematic bullying by his manager. Bullying behavior at SCE flies under the radar, and its existence is almost always denied. When it is reported, the company refuses to get involved, tells the employee to "work it out" with her or her manager, or makes the employee feel at fault.

The employee deals with this in his or her own way. Some learn to live with it, based on the mistaken assumption it's better than being unemployed. Others let the constant browbeating, humiliation, ridicule and undue penalization get the better of them and launch into a shooting rampage.

As the Rivergrade story unfolds, I think we'll find that Turner's actions were not the result of a single event, but were caused by management's constant, ongoing bullying and humiliation, which is so germaine to the Southern California Edison culture.; Sunday, February 05, 2012 6:42:00 PM

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
