U.S.

-

A gunman opened fire at the Molson Coors Beverage Co brewing complex in Milwaukee on Wednesday, killing five employees before he was found dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot, the city’s police chief said.

No other people were injured in the violence, which erupted about 2 p.m. local time at the sprawling campus of more than 20 buildings, where more than 1,000 workers are employed by the beer company in Wisconsin’s largest city, the chief said.

“There is no threat at this time, and we will continue to investigat­e throughout the night,” the police chief, Alfonso Morales, told reporters at a news conference hours after the shooting.

Morales said the bloodshed was confined to the Molson Coors facility, and that “no members of the general public were involved.”

The suspect was described only as a 51-year-old Milwaukee man.
