Athens Man Kills Self at Ground Zero

NEW YORK (AP) -- A 25-year-old from Georgia who was apparently distraught over President Bush's re-election shot and killed himself at ground zero.

Andrew Veal's body was found Saturday morning inside the off-limits site, said Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. A shotgun was found nearby, but no suicide note was found, Coleman said.

Veal's mother said her son was upset about the result of the presidential election and had driven to New York, Gus Danese, president of the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association, told
The New York Times in Sunday's editions.

Friends said Veal worked in a computer lab at the University of Georgia and was planning to marry.

"I'm absolutely sure it's a protest," Mary Anne Mauney, Veal's supervisor at the lab, told The Daily News. "I don't know what made him commit suicide, but where he did it was symbolic."

Police were investigating how Veal entered the former World Trade Center site, which is protected by high fences and owned by the Port Authority.

the guy was probably suicidal to begin with.. honestly.. how bad can it be? just ride out the 4 years. it's not like the guy was living in a 3rd world country or something. he was about to get married, had a decent job, gets 3 square a day... i really doubt bush was the main cause of his problems.

sad story really. i'm sure if he had a few days to think about it he'd have probably changed his mind... living 4 years under bush isn't something to kill yourself over.

i guess for this guy moving to Canada wasn't an alternative ..

Easy there, guys. At the end of the day, someone committed suicide - the reason doesn't make him a "loser."

I'm not saying the story was fabricated. What I'm saying is, they probably found him, but noone knows what happened. They don't even know it suicide. They asked his mom, she said something about Bush, and now everyone is calling it a suicide against Bush.
