Nation IN BRIEF : MICHIGAN : Post Office Reopens After Shooting Spree

Workers sorted letters through tears as the post office where a fired employee killed four supervisors reopened for business in Royal Oak, Mich. “You feel kind of funny walking around the building,” said Elaine Washington, a clerk who called police from the customer counter Thursday when Thomas McIlvane opened fire. Four supervisors were killed and five workers wounded in the attack by McIlvane, who shot himself and later died. Three other workers were hurt trying to flee the 31-year-old gunman. Grief counselors were on hand as the post office reopened to help employees deal with their feelings. A uniformed guard greeted employees at the door where McIlvane is said to have entered with a sawed-off .22-caliber rifle. Passers-by left flowers at the base of a flag pole.
