Police unsure of reason for fatal office shooting

Greenville Police Department investigators were still unsure Tuesday why a Hunt County woman opened fire on the local Social Security Administration offices Monday evening, before taking her own life.
The woman was identified as Constance Hembley, 57, who had an address listed on a Hunt County Road in the Quinlan area.
Hembley was reported by police to have fired two to three rounds from a .38 caliber handgun into the glass doors of the building at 2717 Terrell Road, then put the gun to her head and fired at least one round. Nobody inside the building was wounded.
Greenville Police Chief Harold Roseberry said few clues have turned up as detectives attempt to determine why Hembley took the action she did.
"We still have it under investigation and we've been interviewing witnesses and family members," Roseberry said. "We believe she had become upset over some disagreement with the Social Security Administration. Other than that, I don't have any idea."
Roseberry hoped to learn more after investigators did follow-up interviews with Hembley's relatives.
"We should have more in a day or two," he said.
Federal investigators with the Social Security Administration have also been involved in the case, Roseberry said.

Along with those killed the offender shot as many as 4 others with his shotgun and pistol before turning the weapon on himself when confronted by a police officer. He put the barrel of the 12 gauge in his mouth and pulled the trigger in front of the stunned SPD officer who had arrived first on the scene.
No one is sure of why he did this. he had been in attendance at the party when he abruptly left. some time later he returned with the weapons and a can of spray paint which he used to write the word "now" on several concrete structures and sidewalks around the single family home.
The Rave party was a themed event titled better off un-dead. 15-20 party goers, costumed as zombies and vampires were understanbly upset by the evenings events and voiced concerns hopeing this would not cast a disparaging view of ravers in general. Names of the victims are withheld pending family notification and identification.
As a side note seattle police and detectives along with a SWAT team served a search warrent of a nearby apartment belived to be the residence of the shooter. According to news reports, Items taken from the apartment included several guns, a hand grenade and a large suppy of ammunition. The appaernt twin brother of the shooter is currently detained as a result of the search though at this time no charges have been filed. the brothers moved to washington from montana 4-5 years ago and have been model tennants according to the landlord. They were shocked and surprized such "nice younng boys" could be involved in succh an event and are described as quiet and polite.

You can find all sorts of topics on Internet message boards, but one post caught the attention of an Orem woman. And because she cared enough to make a phone call, she ended up saving a man's life.
That woman traced the IP address on the post to a computer inside the Orem library. But even from there, finding the man and making sure he was okay was going to be a challenge.
For 26 years, Louise Wallace has received every type of phone call she could imagine at the Orem Library, or so she thought, until Monday afternoon.
Louise Wallace: "Never a call like this. Never a call like this."
On the other end was a woman who said she just read a disturbing post on the Internet, and traced that post to a computer at the Orem Library.
Louise Wallace, Orem Library Director: "It was clear it was a serious situation by the tone of her voice."
When Orem police got involved and read the post themselves, they too realized it appeared to be a suicide letter.
Lt. Doug Edwards, Orem Police Dept.: "We were able to come up with four names of people likely to be the one we're looking for."
Police tracked one name to an apartment near the library and knew right away, he was the one.
Lt. Doug Edwards: "They found him slouched over on the couch. He was cold to the touch, couldn't find a pulse, they thought sadly they were too late."
But then they noticed him move slightly and rushed him to the hospital, where they revived him.
Lt. Doug Edwards: "Somebody wants this boy alive."
And he'll get that chance again because random strangers cared.
Louise Wallace: "This call was about someone's life."
Lt. Doug Edwards: "At any point in time, somebody could've broken down the process, and it might've had a very different outcome."
We're told the man is still at the hospital, but should be okay. He told police he swallowed all his medicine. Paramedics say just another five minutes, and he most likely wouldn't have made it.
Everyone involved hopes he gets the help he needs on this second chance in life.
