A former employee ran into a FedEx facility in Bedford Park this morning and opened fire, sending workers scrambling for cover before he turned the gun on himself, according to police and witnesses.
Several witnesses said the ex-employee entered the building at 5151 W. 73rd St. shortly before 8 a.m. and jumped into a vehicle and started firing. About an hour later, with police stationed outside, the man shot himself, the witnesses said. There were no reports of other injuries.
At 9:30 a.m., officers walked into the parking lot of the industrial park and told workers gathered there that the man had killed himself. Police said it was a “domestic” situation but did not elaborate.
The man, dressed in a gray sweatshirt, had entered the FedEx building around 7:50 a.m. and went to a “hub” area, according to witnesses.
“He came in wielding a gun,” said an employee at a firm that shares a parking lot and where several FedEx employees took refuge. “He got into a vehicle and started firing. People were trying to hide under other vehicles, they were running outside, they were taking cover.
“He just kept firing. They just said it was crazy,” the employee said. “We locked our doors and stayed away from the windows.”Michael Shannon, a FedEx truck driver, said he pulled into the terminal at about 8:15 a.m. and was told by fleeing employees that someone was inside shooting.
