SAN FRANCISCO, United States (Reuters) – A man dressed in a United Parcel Service uniform and armed with an “assault pistol” opened fire at a UPS package sorting hub in San Francisco on Wednesday (June 14), killing three people before fatally shooting himself in the head, police said.
The shooter and the victims were all drivers, said Steve Gaut, head of investor relations at UPS. The man opened fire while the workers were gathered for their daily morning meeting before going out on their routes, he added.
Two other people were shot and have been taken to an area hospital, San Francisco police said. Police have not identified the gunman or the victims.
The incident was not terrorism-related but the motive is not known, Assistant Chief Toney Chaplin told a news conference. Police recovered two firearms from the UPS facility, which employs 350 people.
