Services Friday for Emcore victims

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Services are planned Friday for two long-time employees of Emcore Corp. killed in Monday's mass shooting at the Albuquerque plant.

Sharon Cunningham, 47, and Michele Turner, 36, died and four Emcore workers were wounded when the gunman targeting his estranged girlfriend opened fire shortly before 9:30 a.m. Monday. The gunman, Robert Reza, 37, later turned the handgun on himself.

Turner died at the scene, and Cunningham died later at University of New Mexico Hospital.

A visitation for Cunningham begins at 4 p.m. Friday at the French Mortuary Lomas Chapel, 10500 Lomas NE. The rosary is planned for 7 p.m. with a funeral Mass to be scheduled later.

The visitation for family and friends of Turner will be held from 9:30 a.m. until 10 a.m. Friday at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, 1818 Coal SE. The rosary will be recited at 10 a.m. with the funeral Mass open only to family members to follow at 10:30 a.m.

Reza's estranged girlfriend, Adrienne Basciano, was shot multiple times but survived. On Wednesday she was reported to be in serious condition at UNMH.

Three other Emcore workers wound in the shooting--Rodney Nobel, 58, Dixie Colvin, 58, and Malissia Mai, 42--have been released from UNMH.

Emcore, which manufactures photovoltaic and fiber-optic products, has been closed since the shooting but is scheduled to reopen Thursday.
