7 Shot, 5 Dead In Workplace Murder/Suicide


"MINNEAPOLIS, MN — A gunman opened fire inside a Minneapolis sign company on Thursday, killing five people including himself and wounding four others, police said.

"Minneapolis Police spokesman Steve McCarty said five people were dead at Accent Signage Systems, including the gunman. Three others were in critical condition at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis and a forth had non-life threatening injuries, he said.

"He declined to identify those killed or wounded, and said he did not know what connection the shooter may have had with the business, if any.

"A representative from Accent Signage Systems could not be reached for comment. A July article in a local business publication said the company had 28 employees.

"Police cordoned off the area around the company and held residents back."
