2 dead, 2 wounded in Fla. shootings: Investigators to probe what set off truck company veteran
• LAKE BUTLER, Fla. (AP) -- Investigators in a small Florida town worked Sunday to determine what led a longtime trucking company employee to go on a shooting spree that left the man, his former boss and a former coworker dead -- and two others wounded.
• Hubert Allen Jr., 72, drove to several locations around Union County, including the headquarters for Pritchett Trucking Inc. and shot the men Saturday, according to a Union County Sheriff's Office news release. It added that authorities believe Allen acted alone.
• Authorities said Allen shot and killed former co-worker Rolando Gonzalez-Delgado, 28, around 9 a.m. Saturday, then went a short distance and fatally shot his former employer, 80-year-old Marvin Pritchett.
• A few minutes later, he pulled over where another former co-worker was driving a farm tractor, exchanged words with him and then fired one shot from a shotgun, authorities said. That victim, 66-year-old Lewis Mabrey Jr., was in good condition as he was preparing to undergo surgery for a broken arm and other injuries, according to officials.
• Not long after that, Allen went to the company's headquarters in Lake Butler and shot 44-year-old David Griffis in the stomach, the release said. Griffis was in critical condition. Authorities said Allen then returned to his nearby home and killed himself.

The exhibition, opening Thursday at the Paco Imperial Cultural Center in downtown Rio, brings together more than five dozen paintings, silk screens and collages covered in Milhazes' signature riot of saturated color, concentric circles, upbeat flowers and meandering arabesques.
• "I've shown in places that are obviously very exciting for any artist, but in a way showing in your city -- I was born here and still live and work here -- kind of grabs (Continued on page 19)
