HENDERSON, Ky. — An employee shot and killed four people at a plastics plant before killing himself early Wednesday, police said.

The shooting happened after an employee at Atlantis Plastics had an argument with a supervisor, Henderson police Lt. David Piller said.

In addition to the four deaths, Piller said two others, who were injured, were flown to hospitals in Evansville, Ind.

The employee used a handgun he retrieved during a break, Piller said.

The shooting victims were scattered around the plant, Piller said.

"It appears the shooting was random at this time," Piller said.

Police did not say if the supervisor the employee argued with was among the victims.

A woman who answered the phone at a number for Atlantis Plastics declined to give her name and would only say that the company would not comment until a 3 p.m. news conference.

Names of those involved in the shooting have not been released.

Hours after the shooting, police had set up a roadblock on the street leading to the plant, which is in an industrial area on the southern side of Henderson.

Other employees at the plant were sent home.

In a news release on the company's Web site, Atlantis Plastics says it is a leading U.S. manufacturer of three kinds of products: polyethylene stretch films for wrapping pallets of materials, custom films for industrial and packaging uses, and molded plastic pieces used in products such as appliances and recreational vehicles.

The company has 700 employees, including 200 in Henderson, and annual sales of $110 million, according to business directory Hoovers

Nah, if it was a hillbilly he would have used a 12 bore shotgun.

Another "random" shooting...

I expect we'll see more of this sort of thing in the coming months - especially if companies start shedding jobs

Horrible!

Nah, if it was a hillbilly he would have used a 12 bore shotgun.

And probably b*ggered his victims first...

Why is the word random in quotes?

I take it you believe, as I do, that this is all part of the secret Illuminati plot to destabilize Western civilization and pave the way for the coming interplanetary conflict.

Well the guy worked for Atlantis Plastics - and 5 people were killed (including himself) - so it would seem to fit...

Seriously - I have to laugh whenever people refer to these things as random. I have a hard time believing that things like this are totally out of the blue - without at least some warning signs being presented.

more stereotyping

I just saw someone posted this. I live in Evansville which is where they took all the victims to the hospitals. The funerals of the victims were last weekend and all of them were hispanic. On the news they're saying the guy had a disagreement with his boss and went home on his lunch break to get a gun and just shot people who were in the break room when he got back. Even though the people were all hispanic they didn't say it was racially motivated.
