Rapture leads to rupture

[Guns Guns Guns]

The motive in a workplace shooting in Eugene is reportedly the ribbing one employee took from a co-worker after the predicted May 21 rapture failed to occur.



The mother of the victim told The Register Guard that her son said Dale O’Callaghan took it personally when he was needled about his belief that he would be taken to heaven by the return of Jesus Christ.




O’Callaghan is accused of shooting Jerry Andrews on Friday at LHM Hydraulics, where they worked.

Apparently we are all Heathens. Nothing happened at the rapture.

An Oregon man is disputing a claim that his son shot and wounded a fellow worker over the belief the rapture would occur last month.


Dale O'Callaghan is accused of shooting Jerry Andrews last Friday at LHM Hydraulics in Eugene.



Andrews' mother, Robin O'Brien, says she knew O'Callaghan was religious and she assumed the shooting occurred because O'Callaghan was needled at work about the rapture.




But the suspect's father, Ronald O'Callaghan, said his son is not among those who believed the rapture was going to occur on May 21.




The Register-Guard reports a police affidavit says that Andrews told investigators O'Callaghan called him "one of those Satanic people" after the shooting.
