A man dressed in a UPS uniform and armed with an "assault pistol" opened fire at a United Parcel Service Inc package sorting hub in San Francisco, killing three people before turning the gun on himself, police said.
Police did not identify the suspect or say if he was a UPS employee.
They told a news conference the incident was not terrorism-related and they recovered two firearms from the scene.
Two other people were shot and have been taken to an area hospital, police said.
The shooter and the victims were all drivers, said Steve Gaut, head of investor relations at UPS.
The incident took place while the workers were gathered for their daily morning meeting before going out on their routes, he added. Gaut said the facility’s employees have been released from work and he believes most have left the building.
The company is providing trauma and grief counseling to employees. Live video showed a massive police presence near the facility, with workers being led out and embracing each other on the sidewalk outside.
"The company is saddened and deeply concerned about affected employees, family members and the community we share. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those touched by this incident," UPS said in a statement.
Victims were taken to the Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, spokesman Brent Andrew said.
He said he could not say how many patients were taken to the hospital or give their conditions.
In 2014, a man shot and killed two of his supervisors before turning the gun on himself at a UPS distribution center in Birmingham, Alabama.
The gunman had recently been fired from the facility.
EARLIER REPORT
San Francisco: Multiple people have been shot and injured at UPS facility in San Francisco, police said.
The facility is in the area of 17th Street and Vermonth Avenue in San Francisco, the city police announced on Twitter.
Local police are asking people to avoid the area. Witnesses told a California TV station KTVU that they heard shots fired and people screaming.
At least three people were shot at the facility and multiple victims have been transported to SF Genera Hospital, sources told ABC7 News.
A source said the suspect is a single shooter who went into the building during a morning meeting and the suspect may be a disgruntled employee. The source says that one of the people who was shot is the suspected shooter.
A witness who was inside the building says she believes it was one driver shooting toward other drivers while a morning meeting was happening.
Employees at the facility were being escorted out of the building around 9:45 am.
The TV channel spoke over the phone with a woman who says she is an employee at the UPS facility. She said the shooting happened on the main sorting floor and that the gunman is a current employee.
