Postal shootouts (Double event in 1993)

 

Double event in 1993

Two shootings took place on the same day, May 6, 1993, a few hours apart. At a post office in Dearborn, Michigan, Lawrence Jasion wounded three and killed two (including himself). In Dana Point, California, Mark Richard Hilburn killed his mother, then shot two postal workers dead.[7][citation needed]
As a result of these two shootings, in 1993 the Postal Service created 85 Workplace Environment Analysts for domicile at its 85 postal districts. These new positions were created to help with violence prevention and workplace improvement. In February 2009, the Postal Service unilaterally eliminated these positions as part of its downsizing efforts.[8]

Lawrence Jasion was a disgruntled 27-year veteran who, on May 6, 1993, entered the garage area of the Dearborn, Michigan post office and whipped out a .38 revolver. He proceeded to kill mechanic Gary Montes and wound two other coworkers. Before anyone could react, Jasion took his own life.
