Police deputies kill accused
suspect in California shooting

Shooter killed
three, wounded six
at limestone quarry
SUNNYVALE, Calif. (AP) -A
man believed to be the disgrun-
tled employee accused of open-
ing fire on his co-workers at a
California limestone quarry was
shot and killed by deputies yes-
terday, authorities said.
Three deputies on routine
patrol in a Sunnyvale neigh-
borhood encountered the man
matching Shareef Allman's
description around 7:30 a.m.,
Santa Clara County Sheriff Lau-
rie Smith said. He was crouched
behind a vehicle in the driveway
of a home.
The deputies opened fire after
the man "displayed in a threat-
ening manner his firearm,"
Smith said.
Investigators believe the man
is Allman, but the coroner will
have to confirm the identity, she
said.
"I'm glad that we were able to
reach a resolution. It's unfortu-
nate that an additional person
died, but it's over, and my con-
cern is the public safety of the
county," Smith said.
Authorities did not immedi-
ately release the names of depu-
ties - two men and one woman
- who all had less than five
years with the agency. Smith
praised their work, saying they
"did a great job at the scene."
The shooting took place in
a residential neighborhood
about 5 miles east of the Lehigh
Southwest Cement Permanente
Plant, where Allman allegedly
opened fire during a routine
safety meeting a day earlier.
Three people died and six were
wounded.
Authorities believe All-
man also shot a woman in an
attempted carjacking a couple
of hours after fleeing the quarry.
yesterday's encounter with law
enforcement took place about a
block from that carjacking, near
Hewlett-Packard Co.'s Cuper-
tino campus.
Allison Moorwood, who
lives near the scene of Thurs-
day's shooting, said authorities
scoured the area the previous
day in search of Allman.
"We were in the house lock-
down all day yesterday," Moor-
wood said. "We've never seen
anything like it in our neighbor-
hood."
"The SWAT stormed in like
ninjas, and they took a posi-
tion in our front bedroom," said
another neighbor, Jenny Mar-
tin.
According to authorities, All-
man became upset Wednesday
during the meeting at the quar-
ry. He left briefly and returned
with a handgun and rifle and
started shooting people, Santa
Clara County sheriff's Lt. Rick
Sung said. About 15 workers
were at the meeting.
The dead were identified as
Manuel Pinon, 48, of Newman,
Calif., and John Vallejos, 51 and
Mark Munoz, 59, both of San
Jose. Six others at the quarry
were wounded and taken to hos-
pitals, where some were in criti-
cal condition, Smith said.
Later Wednesday morn-
ing, authorities received a 911
call reporting an attempted
carjacking by a man match-
ing Allman's description. The
shooter fled on foot after using
a weapon similar to a gun used
in the quarry shooting, authori-
ties said.
The carjacking victim, a
Hewlett-Packard contract
employee, was in fair condition
at Santa Clara Valley Medical
Center, hospital spokeswoman
Joy Alexiou said.
She said a quarry shoot-
ing victim was listed there in
good condition Thursday, and
another victim was treated
and released shortly after the
shooting.
During the ensuing manhunt
for Allman, schools were locked
down in Cupertino, home of
Apple Inc., and in nearby com-
munities. Authorities went
door to door with guns drawn
and residents were warned to
stay indoors.

President
challenges GOP to
support jobs plan
WASHINGTON (AP) - Defi-
ant and frustrated, President
Barack Obama aggressively chal-
lenged Republicans yesterday
to get behind his jobs plan or
explain why not, declaring that if
Congress fails to act "the Ameri-
can people will run them out of
town."
The president used a White
House news conference to
attempt to heighten the pressure
he's sought to create on the GOP
by traveling around the country,
into swing states and onto the
home turf of key Republican foes
including House Speaker John
Boehner and Texas Gov. Rick
Perry.
Giving a bit of ground on his
own plan, he endorsed a new pro-
posal by Senate Democrats to tax
millionaires to pay for his jobs
program. "This is not a game,"
he said.
Obama made no apologies for
his decision to abandon seeking
compromise with Republicans
in favor of assailing them, some-
times by name. He contended
that he'd gone out of his way to
try to work with the GOP since
becoming president, reaching
hard-fought deals to raise the
government's borrowing limit
and avert a government shut-
down, and had gotten nothing in
return.
"Each time, what we have seen
is games playing," the president
said. "I am always open to nego-
tiations. What is also true is they
need to do something."
Obama was still at the lectern
when Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid told Republicans he
would permit a test vote as early
as late Wednesday on the presi-
dent's original measure. There
was little doubt it would fail, the
outcome Republicans hoped for.
The president predicted dire
political consequences for his
opponents if they don't go along.
"I think the American people
will run them out of town because
they are frustrated and they know
we need to do something big,
somethingbold."
"We will just keep on going
at it and hammering away until
something gets done," he said.
"And I would love nothing more
than to see Congress act so
aggressively that I can't cam-
paign against them as a do-noth-
ing Congress."
Yet Obama's campaign has not
swayed Capitol Hill Republicans
who oppose the higher taxes
he and other Democrats want
to use to pay for his proposal.
They accuse Obama of playing
"campaigner in chief" instead of
working with them.
"If the goal is to create jobs,
then why are we even talking
about tax hikes?" Senate Minor-
ity leader Mitch McConnell,
R-Ky., said Wednesday.
Republicans are resolutely
opposed to much of Obama's jobs
initiative, both for its tax increas-
es for wealthier people and small
businesses andits repriseofstim-
ulus spending on roads, bridges
and schools and grants to local
governments to pay the salaries
of teachers and first responders.
They criticize his bill as another
version of his $825 billion stimu-
lus of 2009, one that this time
would rely on raising taxes.
