A UTILITY company office worker shot four colleagues on Friday with a semiautomatic handgun, fatally wounding two before killing himself in a business park outside Los Angeles, police said.
"As far as we know there was one shooting suspect, period," said Baldwin Park police Captain Michael Taylor.
The shooting around 1:30pm at Southern California Edison offices forced a lockdown of a large office complex and nearby schools as officers from surrounding cities and the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department's SWAT team responded.
"This is one of the most horrible days in our company's history," said Edison International Chairman and CEO Ted Craver. "We are deeply saddened by today's tragic events."
A man and a woman were wounded by gunfire and were listed in critical condition at local hospitals, said Sheriff's Lieutenant Holly Francisco.
Three men were killed in the shooting - two bodies were found on the scene and a third died en route to a hospital. Four of the shooting victims were company employees and the fifth was a contract worker.
There was no immediate word on what prompted the gunfire.
About 230 employees work in the building where the shooting took place, and about 1,100 employees work in the complex.
