BINGHAMTON (AP) -- The parents of the man who gunned down 13 people at an upstate New York immigration center have put their house up for sale.

Neighbors tell The Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin that Henry Voong and Mui Thong have moved to Florida.

Jiverly Wong was living with his parents when he went on the rampage April 3 at the American Civic Association in Binghamton, killing 11 immigrants in an English class, a teacher and a receptionist before committing suicide. Police believe 41-year-old Wong, an immigrant from Vietnam and former center student, was angry over losing a job and frustrated by his poor English-language skills.

The parent's house in the town of Union is listed on the Greater Binghamton Realtor Web site for $63,000.
