Schools are blocking, SWAT teams are running from door to door and armed police are standing by on alert throughout the area along the border of Sunnyvale Cupertino as an intense hunt continues on Wednesday morning to a a man suspected of shooting a career started in Cupertino, killing three and six wounded.

A seventh victim - a woman - was killed near where the suspect tried to commandeer his car.
The suspect, identified as a heavy equipment operator in the Lehigh Southwest Cement plant Permanente, fled on foot in the area near Homestead Road, Tantau Avenue, where the manhunt, including helicopters and dogs began.
The reason is uncertain, but those who know suspect Shareef Allman, 47, could not be more surprised. In their daily work in the quarry, Allman has been a community television program called "Real 2 Real" to CreaTV in San Jose and was "spreading the word about non-violence," said Suzanne St. John-Crane, Executive Director CreaTV. It was a mediator. He is a person who tries to resolve conflicts. I can not believe. "

He also wrote a book called "Amazing Grace", a book designed to give women against domestic violence. Douglas Rose, a neighbor of the Allman to the flat disk Stonegate Renaissance in northern San José, said Allman was upset because he had recently been moved from the day shift at night, which interfered with his plans spend more time together with her daughter.

The Santa Clara Police Sgt. Ray Carreira said Wednesday morning that police believe the Allman "included" in Homestead, and Tantau. Police, guns drawn, have seen him go into a house in Lorne Street.
"He is armed and dangerous," the sheriff of Santa Clara County Sgt. Jose Cardoza said.

In the cement plant, the families of the workers gathered in the hope that their loved ones survived the shooting. By mid-morning, with dozens of family members and the media gathered, a woman screamed and fainted again.

At 4:30, armed with a pistol and a rifle, the suspect stopped at a meeting on the property where the bloodbath began.
A shooting victim was taken to Stanford Medical Center, two were taken to the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. Both are men, one in good condition, one in fair condition.
Schools in the region scrambled to keep students safe and parents informed that keep children at home.

Loretta Wong said. "All children who are here are safe," he said.

Cupertino Union School District Other schools remained open, because many children were on their way to school when the news was broken, and their parents may have left for work, said spokesman Jeremy Nishihara. School, said, "is the safest place for them."
Fremont Union High School District sent a backup email 7:15 to 7:30 this morning to inform parents of its 10,400 students to school no. But by then, "many children were on their way to school," said Graham Clark, director of the Homestead High School Cupertino. Only 25 percent of students showed Homestead 2235 for the class, he said. The campus is open to students and accept. The property was not in isolation, Clark said, but plans to keep students in classrooms --- a tutorial teaching period, just after the first period.

Stonegate Apartments Allman Allman neighbors described as a sympathetic, a guy dressed in a loud, single parent, going to church, and works a lot. Several said a former semi-professional boxer. Neighbors said never seen him do anything violent. Everyone was shocked to hear who is suspected of a shooting.
Neighbor Alberto Salazar, 51, Allman said he knew from long ago. He spoke three days ago and noticed nothing unusual. We talked about growing up in difficult circumstances and how they have transformed their lives.

"It makes no sense," said Salazar. "Nobody can understand what happened. There has to be broken. I could not believe it when I found out it was him this morning."

Wayne Riley, went to high school with the daughter of Allman. "It was a good parent. He was always doing something to take care of her children," said Riley. "I do not know what happened."

Paulette Conner, another neighbor, said Allman had problems at work, but did not know exactly why.
Many of his neighbors used to watch his cable show and saw him as a successful entrepreneur.
In a video interview with CreaTV, Allman spoke about his book.
"It's fiction, but in relation to the people I've met in my life," Allman said in the interview. "I am a father and a daughter of noble birth, and grow in this environment and have seen men abuse women, I said I can do something as an individual make a difference."

As the number of Real 2 Real, Allman would interview a number of groups, said St. John-Crane, and encourage them to get along. He had the status of workers, but one of the 130 producers who turned to see the air duct.
