United Press International
WASHINGTON — A lawyer
for five death row inmates in
Oklahoma and three in Texas
said Tuesday he will appeal a
federal judge’s ruling allowing
states to execute with lethal drug
injections.
U.S. District Judge Norma
Holloway Johnson dismissed a
lawsuit Monday filed by the in
mates, rejecting their argument
that without approval by the
Food and Drug Administration
such injections are illegal.
David Kendall, lawyer for the
inmates, said the ruling affects
death row inmates in four states
where lethal injections are per
mitted — 146 inmates in Texas,
39 in Oklahoma, four in New
Mexico and five in Idaho.
In her ruling, the judge said
the FDA is not required to
approve the use of the lethal
drugs for death penalty cases.

employee Richard D. Martin,
51, of Cary, was wounded and in
critical condition.
Employees were warned over
a plant intercom system an
armed man was roaming the
complex and told to barricade
themselves in their offices.
“I was on the phone and saw a
girl running with her head in
her hands, screaming,’’ said
Rosalyn C. Basden, 32, an admi
nistrative specialist. “I turned
my head and I could smell the
gunpowder, and heard a shot.”
Basden said she fled from her
desk and when she got to the
end of the aisle,“he was there.”
She turned and ran to an office
and locked herself in, she said.
Michael F. Pandich, director
of communications at the plant,
said Avery breached plant
security by entering a loading
dock area of Building 205 in the
IBM complex, which has 19
buildings on 521 acres.

Wearing military fatigues and
brandishing an old-fashioned,
.45-caliber Thompson sub
machine gun, he fired some
shots in the building and deton
ated a smoke grenade, Pandich
said, blackening the walls in the
medical section.
Employee O.T. Weaver said
the man entered Building 201
through a passageway and en
countered Glenn. Glenn tried to
calm Avery, Weaver said, and
Avery shot him. Glenn died dur
ing surgery.
Avery had been fired from
the plant Aug. 19, but officials
declined to give the reason.
“He was terminated at that
time and made some threats to
some other employees at the
IBM facility,” said Durham
County Sheriffs Department
Capt. Tommy King.
Pandich said neither of the
victims was Avery’s supervisor.
He said he did not know if Avery
knew either of them.
“It appeared to be random,”
he said.
A former neighbor who
would not give his name, said
Avery had a wife and children,
although reporters were unable
to find them. He said Avery told
him he served two tours of duty
in Vietnam, had been exposed
to Agent Orange and was
undergoing treatment for
stress.
