Worker fatally shoots two at Alabama fire hydrant plant before killing himself, police say

A worker who killed two people and wounded two more at an Alabama fire hydrant plant early Tuesday has been found dead, apparently after killing himself in a car, a police chief said.

Albertville Police Chief Jamie Smith told CBS station WHNT the shooter was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The gunfire — among the latest in a spate of shootings across the U.S. — broke out about 2:30 a.m. at a Mueller Co. plant in Albertville, Smith told reporters. The gunman then got in a vehicle and left the factory. His body was found hours later inside a car in Guntersville, about 15 miles away, Smith said.
