FULTON COUNTY, Ga. -- Police say a business owner who was having financial problems shot and killed two of his employees after they asked him for a raise. The suspect in the murders, 38-year-old Rolandas Milinavicius, turned himself in to East Point authorities Saturday. Officials said Milinavicius was the victims' boss. East Point police said Milinavicius confessed to the killings. Officials said he told them he was under a lot of stress because of heavy debts with his business. Milinavicius told authorities conversations in recent weeks with his only two employees about pay raises pushed him over the edge. East Point detectives launched a nationwide manhunt for the Lithuanian native Thursday after his wife discovered the employees' bodies at R.M. Auto International on Willingham Drive near Central Avenue. A 28-year-old man and 25-year-old woman had been shot to death. "Motive was about money. There were some problems with money in the workplace and basically the stress of him being the owner and running a business got to him," said Capt. Russell Popham with the East Point Police Department. Milinavicius faces two counts of murder. Officials said more charges are pending.

this is a repost, and also there are 2 factors, 1 the boss is crazy, 2 the workers and boss were friends and got in a fight before this
That is sad. Fisrt time I heared of an employer killing their employee. It's usually the employees who go on a rampage.
That's why you should never ask for a raise. However, if you really need to ask for one, make sure you come with an armed personal gaurd.
THat is why it is bestto work for your self... you can set your own hours.... you can take lots of vacations... you can give yourself a raise... and your boss wont shot you!!!!!!!
Funny how the boss is getting nut when it's the employee who should be doing so. I think the boss must be mental.
Agreed!, I've had my boss who is going though a ugly divorce at the moment snap at me, for simply not putting enough sugar in his coffee!!! feel so sorry for these two. they where just too young to go at an age like that.
I like this guy, I sometimes get the same crap from my employees. "Please Please sir give us a raise..." If I had a gun I would of done the same.
Hmmm...how would this look if the guy asking for a raise was on US$250 million a year and asking for a raise?? Col
