SAN JOSE, Calif. -- A former employee at a Silicon Valley chip startup backed by Intel Corp. returned to the facility on Friday (Nov. 14) and fatally shot three people, according to reports.
The suspect, Jing Wu, 47, was arrested on Saturday in Santa Clara County in California., according to reports.
This week, Wu was apparently laid off from his engineering job at SiPort Inc. (Santa Clara, Calif.), according to reports.
He retured to the company and opened fire, according to reports. ''Authorities have identified two of the victims as SiPort's chief executive officer Sid Agrawal and vice president of operations Brian Pugh,'' according to the Associated Press. Marilyn Lewis, head of human resources, was also killed., according to the AP.
On Friday, police were searching for Wu, who was described as about 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds. He resides in Mountain View, Calif.
Formed in 2004, SiPort is a fabless semiconductor company developing mixed signal RF and digital baseband wireless receiver chips supporting multiple Digital Broadcast Standards. Investors in the startup include Lightspeed Venture Partners, Morgenthaler, New Venture Partners and Intel Capital.
The startup is reportedly betting the first application for its chip will be portable GSP devices, given HD Radio's ability to datacast real-time traffic information from local radio stations in far more detailed and comprehensive fashion than is currently available via the analog FM band.
In August, SiPort---a supplier of digital terrestrial broadcast receiver ICs that is partly backed by Intel Corp.--said that its device received ''HD Radio Ready'' certification from iBiquity Digital Corp. IBiquity is the developer and licensor of HD Radio technology. |
