Police: Suicidal gunman kills former boss

Police say a former bank employee fatally shot his former supervisor and wounded another employee before killing himself with a shotgun blast at a golf course.

Kenneth Tripp, 42, of Pike Creek, was found dead Sunday morning at the 13th hole of the Three Little Bakers Country Club north of Newark, said New Castle Police spokesman Trinidad Navarro.

The shootings began Saturday night when a Bethel Township, Pa., woman was hit by a shotgun blast in her home, police said. She was treated and released.

Less than an hour later, a man matching Tripp’s description visited 44-year-old Timothy Love near Hockessin. When Love’s daughter answered the door, she was asked to get her father, Navarro said.

“When he opened the door, he was shot at twice, struck once, and fatally wounded,” Navarro said.

Love was pronounced dead Sunday.

Sharpton reminds congregation to vote

Democratic presidential candidate Al Sharpton on Sunday admonished a church congregation to avoid taking past civil rights gains for granted and play a more active role in current politics.

“Here you are 40 years later in South Carolina,” he said. “Nobody’s bombing your churches, no dogs (are) biting you, nobody’s shooting you in the driveway. (You’re) just too lazy and ungrateful to use something that folks died to give you the right to. Folks got to beg you to vote when others died to give you the right to vote.”

Sharpton spoke at Chapel Hill Baptist Church in Santee.
