(CNN) -- A worker at a plastics plant in Henderson, Kentucky, allegedly
shot and killed five co-workers, then himself, after an argument with a
supervisor Wednesday, police said.
The worker "had words with a supervisor" before going on a half-hour
break Tuesday night, Henderson police Sgt. John Nevels said.
"He came back," Nevels said. "Witnesses saw the supervisor and the
shooter walk outside together. They heard a gunshot and the shooter come
back inside the plant, and he shot numerous people."
Two people died at the scene and four others died at hospitals in
Henderson and nearby Evansville, Indiana, said Janet Campbell of the
Henderson Police Department.
Another victim is hospitalized and is expected to survive, she said.
It is unclear if the supervisor was among those killed.
About 35 people were inside the Atlantis Molded Plastics Inc. plant
working the overnight shift when the shooting happened, Nevels said.
Investigators were interviewing witnesses to determine the motive of the
shooting and the identity of the victims, another police officer said.
