CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say a disgruntled employee opened fire at a Northern California quarry, killing two people and wounding six others.

Santa Clara County Sheriff's spokesman Jose Cardoza said the shooting at Lehigh Southwest Cement Company occurred around 4 a.m. Wednesday.

Cardoza said the employee, who has not been identified, walked into a safety meeting with a handgun and rifle and opened fire.

He then left the meeting and began walking around the quarry grounds. Cardoza says he remains at large. Authorities got a report of a man who matched his description and was armed with a handgun and rifle nearby.

It's kind of strange that I've been listening to the song Story Of A Quarryman by Joe Bonamassa a lot lately. The lyrics aren't eerily similar to this situation, but it's close enough to the situation this guy is now in to be interesting.

Story Of A Quarryman
by Joe Bonamassa

Gonna buy me a bucket and a hammer and nails
Board up the windows and head for the trails
And that's what I get for sticking my chin out
Well a kick in the teeth and a mind full of doubt

I brought this on by my own hands
The precious disgrace from my own hands
If I could freeze time in my own hands
Story of a quarryman

Left my home with the shirt on my back
Built my empire on a dry haystack
To break it down a one by one
And back in Cali and tired and alone

I brought this on by my own hands
The precious disgrace from my own hand
If I could freeze time in my own hands
Story of a quarryman

Traces of life blowing in the sand
The cornerstone of my piece of dry land
So hand me that hop and some of that wine
I'll drink you away by the end of this line

I brought this on by my own hands
The precious disgrace from my own hands
If I could freeze time in my own hands
