SAN FRANCISCO, June 14 -- Six people were shot Wednesday morning at a UPS facility in San Francisco and four were killed, including the shooter.
Assistant Chief Toney Chaplin of San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) told a press briefing that officers at the scene confronted the shooter, who then turned an assault pistol to his own head and discharged the weapon.
Two guns were recovered from the facility, said Chaplin.
The gunman was identified by authorities as San Francisco resident Jimmy Lam.
Unconfirmed media reports based on a witness account said the gunman shot victims in an "execution-style."
The incident took place before 9:00 a.m. local time at the sprawling UPS, or United Parcel Service, warehouse and customer service center in the Portero Hill neighborhood of the city on the U.S. West Coast.
While witnesses said the shooter was wearing a UPS uniform, and the package delivery company said earlier that the shooter and those injured are its employees, Assistant Chief Chaplin declined to identify those killed and injured.
Police treated the facility as a crime scene and put it on lockdown.
"At this point," Chaplin noted, "we do not believe this incident is related to terrorism."
Local media quoted witnesses within the warehouse at the time of the incident as saying that the gunman went in through the front entrance and started shooting, without saying anything -- once at the back of a victim and then at the heads of some others.
