UPDATED: 5 p.m. identifying a second victim who was killed by the gunman
ST. LOUIS -- A factory employee went to the workplace this
morning armed with three weapons and shot eight co-workers, killing
three of them, before shooting himself inside the building, Police
Chief Dan Isom said.
The rampage took place at ABB Inc., a manufacturer of electric
transformers near the old General Motors plant complex in north St.
Louis. Isom declined to name the gunman during a press conference this
afternoon, but other police officials had identified him as Timothy
Hendron, 51, of Webster Groves, an employee at the ABB plant.
"We are very confident that this is the shooter," said Isom, without confirming his name.
Isom said officers found two deceased victims in the parking lot
outside the plant and two inside, including the shooter. Isom said
officers recovered the shooter’s weapons: an assault rifle, a shotgun
and a pistol. He said officers continued checking the
200,000-square-foot factory building this afternoon for evidence.
