A trucking company worker, who was recenty terminated, today returned to the office and shot dead his supervisor before killing himself in Texas in the US.

Another person was injured in the deadly shooting at Knight Transportation office in the Houston suburb of Katy, said Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman.
