On September 23, 2014, 46-year-old Brian Callans, a long-time UPS business manager in Birmingham, Alabama, was shot and killed at the package-sorting facility where he had worked for 26 years. Callans and a colleague, 33-year-old driver supervisor Doug Hutcheson, were in an office when a former employee entered the center, opened fire, and specifically targeted the two supervisors. The shooter, identified as 45-year-old Kerry Joe Tesney of Trussville, a UPS driver who had been with the company 21 years, had been given his termination notice the day before the attack. Tesney was wearing a UPS uniform when he gained access and then took his own life after killing Callans and Hutcheson.

Callans was remembered by friends and colleagues as kind and supportive; his fiancée said he had expressed sympathy for Tesney after the firing, worried about the effect on the man’s family. Outside UPS, Callans often worked nights as a bartender and was described as a role model who would do anything for anyone. His remains were transported to his funeral in a brown UPS van.

If anyone knew Brian Callans, his routines at the Birmingham facility, or has information about that day, please share what you know.
