AN executive of a Chicago company, upset that he was being demoted, walked into the CEO’s office and shot him twice before turning the gun on himself.

Tony DeFrances, 59, was found dead on the scene from a gunshot wound to the head on Thursday morning. His friend and CEO of ArrowStream, Steven LaVoie, 54, was wounded in the head and stomach and was in critical condition at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, authorities said.
DeFrances had been told last Friday that he was being demoted as the company was downsized, according to Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy.
He asked for a one-on-one meeting with LaVoie on Thursday morning in his 17th floor offices, McCarthy said. Workers heard shots around 9.55am.
“Apparently he was despondent over the fact that he got demoted,” McCarthy said of DeFrances. “It’s a workplace violence issue.”
McCarthy said there was “plenty of security in the building. He’s apparently a longtime employee. He comes in with a backpack like an employee normally does ... This is a personal thing.”
A police source said Lavoie was in “extremely critical” condition at Northwestern, where he was undergoing surgery. He was shot with a 9mm semiautomatic handgun that was recovered at the scene.
The source said DeFrances and LaVoie had been friends as well as co-workers. “They had been friends for years — a congenial relationship between two friends,” the source said.
LaVoie founded ArrowStream in 2000, but the company had been downsizing and demoting a number of people recently, police said.
