Joe Jackson, the gunman who went on a deadly shooting spree Friday at a Chicago law office, was convinced a toilet he invented for truck drivers would transform his quiet life and believed an attorney was trying to steal his invention, his family said. At the end of the attack, three employees of the law firm -- including patent attorney Michael R. McKenna, whose business card Jackson kept in his pocket -- were dead and another wounded. SWAT snipers killed Jackson, shooting him as he held a hostage.
