Man kills self after shooting co-worker in Randolph, prosecutor says
By John R. Ellement and Andrew Ryan, Globe Staff
RANDOLPH -- A gunman killed himself this morning after police said he burst into the Randolph steel fabricating company where he worked and shot a co-worker.
The man opened fire at Alloy Fabricators of New England on York Avenue at about 7 a.m. without uttering a word, Randolph Police Chief Paul Porter said at a press conference.
Jean Dure, 52, was shot in the left arm and abdomen and was taken to Caritas Good Samaritan Hospital in Brockton, where he underwent surgery. His condition was not immediately available.
The gunman was identified as Howard Trang, 48, of Dorchester. He was found dead on Walsh Street in Randolph at 8:35 a.m. in his red Toyota Rav4, police said. Trang used a silver, .45-caliber automatic handgun to shoot Dure before turning the weapon on himself, police said.
It was not immediately clear whether Dure was a random victim or Trang's intended target. Police described Dure as a widowed father of three adult sons.
Reached by phone, one of Dure's son did not speculate about what may have motivated the shooting.
"I don't know," he said.
