Man shoots 5 dead at plant in Kentucky

An employee got into an argument with a supervisor early yesterday, then shot and killed five people at a western Kentucky plastics plant before killing himself, police said.

The shooting happened at around midnight at Atlantis Plastics in Henderson, an Ohio River town of about 28,000 people.

The employee began fighting with a supervisor and was escorted from the building, company CEO Bud Philbrook said. As he was leaving, he took out a gun, shot the supervisor, then charged back into a break room and shot several employees. Then, he returned to the floor and shot another employee before killing himself, Philbrook said.
