Former postal worker kills six in rampage
A female ex-postal worker opened fire at a mail processing plant, killing six people before committing suicide, authorities said early today.
One other person was listed in critical condition, authorities said.
“We do not believe there is any additional threat to the community,” said Santa Barbara County Sheriff Jim Anderson.
Deputies responding to a call of shots fired late yesterday in Goleta, initially found two people dead outside the plant.
Two others were located inside and were taken to a hospital.
One died upon arrival.
The other was critically wounded with a gunshot wound to the head.
Deputies searching the plant about 2am (10am Irish Time) found the bodies of three victims and the female attacker, who died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, Anderson said.
The postal station is located just a few blocks from the University of California, Santa Barbara, about 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
Authorities said more than 50 people were working at the plant at the time of the shootings.
