It's Gonna Be A Long Year....

If everyone goes postal over small stuff:

The gunman who opened fire in the federal courthouse this morning, killing a security officer and wounding a deputy U.S. marshal, was Johnny Lee Wicks, according to a law enforcement source.

In 2008 Wicks filed a federal race discrimination complaint against a regional commissioner with the Social Security Division. Wicks’ complaint stemmed from an encounter he had with regional commissioner at the social security office after learning his monthly social security payment would be reduced.

With a bit of a local past:

Johnny Lee Wicks, 66, is a former Fresno resident who was cited for misdemeanor battery in 1998.

Fresno County Superior Court records show that Wicks lived in an apartment building on the 800 block of Van Ness Avenue in downtown Fresno. On Oct. 27, 1998, Wicks was cited after a disturbance with J.C. Williams Jr.

The case against Wicks was dismissed in Superior Court in July 1999, court records show.
