- <p>Killings by mail workers in two states revive a decade-long
- nightmare
- </p>
- <p> For a year, the U.S. Postal Service seemed to have left behind
- its most disturbing problem: a decade-long string of killings
- (31 in all) by employees. The respite ended Thursday. In
- Dearborn, Michigan, Larry Jasion, upset at losing a promotion
- to a woman, killed one co-worker and wounded two others before
- killing himself. Later that day in Dana Point, California, Mark
- Richard Hilbun returned to the post office from which he had
- been fired and killed a letter carrier and wounded a clerk. He
- was arrested at a bar, about 20 miles north, early Saturday
- morning. Police said Hilbun is suspected of killing his mother,
- whose body was found at her home the day of the post office
- murder, and of shooting four other people before he was
- apprehended.
