HOUSTON, TX - October 5, 2007 - This morning, two Loomis employees
were shot and killed while servicing an ATM on the northeast side of
Philadelphia. The two were part of a three-person team operating out
of the Company´s Pennsauken, New Jersey branch. The third crew member
was the driver of the vehicle and remained in the vehicle to radio for
help, pursuant to established security procedures. He is in good
condition after suffering cuts from shards of glass as a result of
bullets fired by the attacker at the vehicle.
The two men killed were William Widmaier and Joseph Alullo. Mr
Widmaier joined the company in 1989. Prior to joining Loomis, he
served as a Philadelphia Police Officer for 23 years. William leaves
behind his wife and adult children. Mr. Alullo has been with the
Company for four years. Previously, he served as a Patrol Sergeant for
the Philadelphia Police Department for over twenty years. Joe leaves
behind his wife and three daughters.
"We are of course deeply saddened by the loss of our two teammates
today," said Cal Murri, President of Loomis US. "These were
experienced, dependable guys who have dedicated a great part of their
lives to serving their community. It is a terrible loss for us all.
Our deepest sympathy goes to the families of these fine men."
An investigation is presently underway to apprehend the assailants.
Loomis is cooperating fully with law enforcement authorities. On
Friday morning, the Company will provide further information.
