St. Louis Police have released new information about the victims from Thursday's deadly workplace shoot in North St. Louis. A disgruntled worker is accused of shooting co-workers at the ABB industrial plant on Semple Avenue near Interstate 70. Police say Carlton Carter, 57 of St. Louis, Terry Mabry, 55 of Moscow Mills, and Cory Wilson, 27, of Collinsville, Ill were all killed Thursday morning.
ABB released the following statement Friday morning regarding the shooting: The tragic events that took place yesterday at ABBs St. Louis facility came as a shock to everyone in the ABB family. Today we mourn the loss of three of our colleagues. Our deepest sympathies go out to the families and friends of Terry Mabry, Cory Wilson and Carlton Carter. Our thoughts and prayers are also with the five other employees who were wounded in the attack. The St. Louis plant will remain closed for the time being while the police complete their investigation. ABBs main focus now is on the well being of our employees. Counseling is being provided today for all of our St. Louis employees and their families, and we have set up a hotline for employees to call for updates and information. We continue to support local authorities in the investigation and are monitoring the situation closely.
Authorities have also officially identified the shooter as Timothy Hendron, 51 of Webster Groves. Hendron was found inside the Group's plant from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The shooting began at 6:30 a.m. Thursday at the plant where the Swiss-owned company makes electrical transformers. Police spent hours inside the sprawling plant searching for the gunman and additional victims.
The motive for the shooting isn't clear, but Hendron was among employees of the plant who sued ABB over its retirement benefits. The trial began Tuesday in Kansas City, Mo.
