A man who worked at a chicken processing plant has opened fire on colleagues, killing two and wounding two others before taking his own life, authorities said.
Police say they do not know what prompted the attack by Lawrence Jones, but fellow employees said he did not appear to be himself when he arrived for work at Apple Valley Farms in Fresno.
The names of the victims have not been released Jones, 42, opened fire a few hours into his shift, moving methodically between three of the victims, putting a handgun against their head or neck before pulling the trigger.
The fourth victim, a woman, was shot as she tried to flee the plant.
Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said Jones had an extensive criminal history dating back to the 1990s.
Police said they put Jones' home on lock-down and were searching to see if there were any other victims.
Chief Dyer said: "It is difficult to say at this point if in fact there was a specific target that Jones was looking for.
"There was something that must have provoked this incident, perhaps that occurred today, or maybe was building up to today."
Police say they do not know what prompted Jones' attack Officers found Jones with a gunshot wound to the head and a 32-year-old woman bleeding from a wound to her lower back outside the business.
The woman was in stable condition, Chief Dyer said.
Three other people were found shot inside the plant. One was pronounced dead at the scene. Jones and another victim were pronounced dead later.
The names of the victims have not been released.
About 30 employees witnessed the shooting, and there were a total of 62 people at work when the gunfire started.
