4 police officers who responded to the situation have been shot. Condition not known.
Multiple of the employees shot.
The extent of it will probably be known within the half hour or so.
5 employees are dead and 5 police officers were shot, and the shooter is dead.
The shooter had a laser sight on his pistol which enabled him to see exactly where his bullets would go. I suppose we can't ban that sort of thing though because people who hunt squirrels with pistols need that sort of thing so as to make it more fun.
Also, it is a good thing the incident didnt happen in the company lunchroom or else there may have been 50 dead when the killer attacked with his fork.
