'Total shock'
The night-shift worker who has not yet been identified shot the supervisor outside the plant before re-entering the building to open fire on other colleagues Det Herndon said.


"We're still piecing together events but we believe the gunman had an altercation with a supervisor and went out to his vehicle to retrieve a firearm" he said.
"We believe he then had another altercation outside with the supervisor and opened fire.
"He then went into the building to a break room with lunch tables set up where other colleagues were and continued his shooting spree."
Atlantis Plastics chief executive officer Bud Philbrook told the Associated Press news agency that the killings were a "total shock". The rampage happened at about 0015 local time (0415 GMT) on Wednesday. Staff at the plant which employs about 150 people and makes refrigerator parts were sent home for the day.
