Jiverly Wong, an Vietnamese immigrant, was identified as New York Binghamton American Civic Association building shooting gunman. Jiverly Wong, was from Johnson City, miles west of Binghamton. Wong, who was often mocked for his inability to speak English, was taking language classes at the association until dropping out in the first week of March, according to NyDailynews.com. If the words that he was recently laid off from IBM were true, this Binghamton shooter possibly took the revenge against the society by resorting to a violent shooting spree that killed at least 13 and wounded many.

Update: According to an updated report on NyDailynews.com, Jiverly Voong previously worked at Shop Vac (so he was not a former IBM employee) until November and was an America hater.



The maniac who shot 13 people dead in a Binghamton immigration center before killing himself was described Friday as an angry loner who loved guns, hated America and talked about assassinating the President.

Kevin Greene, who once worked with 41-year-old mass murderer Jiverly Voong, said a question about a New York Yankees T-shirt he was wearing brought out his dark side.

Greene said, "I asked him if he liked the Yanks," and "he said, 'No, I don't like that team. I don't like America. America sucks.'"

Greene, who lives outside of Binghamton, said he worked with Voong - whom co-workers knew as Jiverly Wong - for a few months at the Shop Vac assembly plant in Binghamton before it closed in November.

He told FBI investigators he and a buddy used to joke about how they thought Voong "would come in mad one day and shoot people. He seemed like that kind of guy."

Donald Ackley, another former Shop Vac employee, said Voong "kept to himself but made some of off-the-wall comments like he wanted to kill the President."

It was unclear if Voong was threatening the life of former President Bush or President Obama.
