The Xerox Mass Murders
On November 2, 1999, Brian Uyesugi walked into the Xerox warehouse where he worked and opened fire with a 9mm Glock 17 on seven co-workers and a supervisor. He killed six of his co-workers and his supervisor; one of the co-workers escaped the building without any harm. He then fled in his mini-van into the mountainous regions of the island where he was soon cornered. There was a five-hour stand-off with police until Uyesugi surrendered to police.

Trial and Conviction
During the plea hearing, Brian Uyesugi gave the plea of not guilty for reasons of insanity. Uyesugi firmaly believed the his co-workers were out to get him and that they were tampering with his fish. He aalso believed that he was about to be layed off. However, he showed that he knew right from wrong when he confessed to a polie officer that he had let his family down. Also, he shot at people, didnt shoot at one person, then started shooting again. Gordon Lau of the jury said, "If you're delusional, you'd be shooting them all." The jury, consisting of 6 men and 6 women convicted him of seven counts of first degree murder and attempted second degree murder.
