Christmas Party Murder At Perona, Langer, Beck, Serbin, Mendoza & Harrison Law Firm: Three Dead Including Attorney Shooter

Ex-employee shot and killed two at Christmas Party:

An attorney opened fire at a prominent law firm's holiday party in Southern California Friday afternoon, killing one and injuring another before turning the gun on himself. The gunman, who hasn't yet been identified, shot dead Major A Langer, 75, at Bixby Knolls Law office in Long Beach around 2.25pm, according to the Press Telegram. He also injured Ronald Beck, who runs day-to-day operations at the firm. Beck is currently in serious but stable condition and was rushed to the hospital by his son after the shooting. The shooting reportedly happened just after the gunman was fired from the law firm, and during the company's holiday party where employees could spin a wheel to win prizes. Long Beach police responded to Bixby Knolls amid reports of an active shooter, but realized after it was actually a 'workplace violence incident'. Source
