At Emcore Fiber Optics at 9 am local time in Albuquerque, a 911 call reported a shooter. Reports do not say how many employees were injured or killed by the shooter. Classified as a “domestic dispute within the workplace,” this act of violence does not appear to be related to Emcore’s business or patent infringement rulings.

Emcore shooter ends up attacking Albuquerque offices

The Albuquerque shooting at the Emcore offices appear to have been carried out by a previous employee. At 9:29 a.m. local time, the 911 call reported that there were “multiple people injured.” Police officers which were on the scene found between two and five individuals dead on the scene and at least four more have been transported to local hospitals. The believed shooter was also found dead on the scene of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Albuquerque shooting was a ‘domestic workplace dispute’

As reported by police on the scene, the Albuquerque shooting was probably a “domestic workplace dispute.” This means that a domestic dispute that was between the shooter and his wife was carried over into the Emcore offices. There isn’t any reports saying what the situation of the shooter was. The shooter’s wife presently works at Emcore while he was a previous employee. There is no report on how the shooter’s wife is doing.

Emcore with business difficulties

The specific office where the Albuquerque shootings took place, Emcore, is the headquarters of an embattled fiber optic and solar manufacturing company. On the exact same day as the Albuquerque shootings, Emcore was barred from importing some fiber optics. The U.S. International Trade Commission ruled in May that some of Emcore’s technology violated a specific patent. Today, the U.S. Trade panel officially barred the company from importing any of the products that infringe a patent owned by competitor Avago Technologies.
