   The complaint states that an employee described Getachew as "weird" and that   
   they suspected he had mental issues.   
      
   Aren't ALL blacks "weird" and have mental issues?   
      
   A St. Paul post office worker has been charged with attempted 2nd-degree   
   murder after shooting his supervisor on Sunday.   
      
   Tewabe Getachew, 28, of St. Paul, was arrested on Sunday after attempting to   
   kill 50-year-old coworker Roy Varghese, of Eagan, at the U.S. Post Office at   
   1715 West 7th Street. Charges were officially filed against Getachew on   
   Tuesday.

   The man who was shot at least five times miraculously survived and is in   
   stable condition. He was required to undergo an additional surgery on Tuesday   
   as well.   
      
   According to the complaint, officers arrived at the post office at 3:24 p.m.   
   after an employee had come back to the office and found the victim, a   
   supervisor, had been shot several times. The supervisor asked the employee to   
   call the police, and when    
   officers arrived, he told them that Getachew was the shooter.   
      
   At the scene, officers recovered twelve .40 caliber casings on the floor near   
   where the supervisor had been shot. He was taken to Regions Hospital in   
   critical condition and was unable to respond as to why Getachew shot him in   
   the first place.   
      
   Police discovered that Getachew had been working at that office earlier that   
   day but was told by a coworker that his car was no longer in his parking spot.   
   Surveillance video from a gas station across the street shows him leaving the   
   Post Office parking    
   lot around 3:19 p.m.   
      
   The complaint states that an employee described Getachew as "weird" and that   
   they suspected he had mental health issues. He had been working at the office   
   since February of this year, with every Thursday off to attend appointments   
   for his mental health.   
      
   Additional surveillance video showed Getachew arriving at his home at on West   
   7th Street and leaving shortly after 3:37 p.m.   
      
   Officers arrived at his address, and Getachew's landlord told them he was   
   supposed to be returning home. Further interviews with neighbors of Getachew   
   revealed that he was "always drinking" and was suspected of being an   
   alcoholic. He would also speak    
   about how he needed a gun and a license for one.   
      
   Getachew was arrested and taken into custody when officers finally found his   
   car. The complaint says that he had what looked like blood on the laces of his   
   right shoe, but no firearm was found in his possession.   
      
   A search warrant was executed at his home, where police found a Glock .40   
   caliber firearm and a magazine that held several rounds of ammunition that   
   matched the ones found at the scene.   
      
   While being interviewed by police once in custody, Getachew said that he did   
   own a gun but was not sure what caliber it was. When asked why he smelled like   
   alcohol, he told officers he drank a beer when he came home.   
      
   Getachew said he bought the gun a month ago and kept it in his car while he   
   was at work. He confessed to police that he put the gun in the apartment after   
   returning home from work on Sunday.   
      
   He said he saw his supervisor while clocking out that day and was not injured   
   when he left. According to the complaint, he had no explanation as to why or   
   who shot the supervisor.   
      
   This is not his first run-in with law enforcement, having been previously   
   convicted of a gross misdemeanor for harassment. The complaint says that he   
   allegedly told a witness where he previously worked that the owner should be   
   killed while drawing a    
   finger across his neck.   
      
   Getachew is currently in the Ramsey County jail. His bail has been set at $1   
   million, and he must not contact the victim. His next hearing is scheduled for   
   Nov. 5 at 1:30 p.m.
