A university janitor who fatally shot a supervisor and injured another was told last week he was being fired.

Documents released by Ohio State University from Nathaniel Brown's personnel file show that supervisors complained he was tardy, slept on the job and had problems following instructions.

Brown had been hired in October and was still on probation. The university sent him a letter on March 2 informing him that his employment was to end Saturday.

Police say the 51-year-old Brown entered a campus maintenance building early Tuesday (local time) and shot two supervisors in an office suite.

Brown was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a garage bay and died later at a hospital.
