[USA TODAY] KENNESAW, Ga. — A package handler decked out “Rambo-style,” with an assault rifle and bullets strapped to his chest, opened fire on fellow employees at a FedEx facility in suburban Atlanta early Tuesday, wounding six people — two critically — before killing himself.

The man, dressed all in black, entered the 500,000-square-foot warehouse and began shooting at 5:54 a.m. ET, said Sgt. Dana Pierce of the Cobb County Police Department. Police declined to identify the shooter.

Police found the suspect about three hours later dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in the loading dock area, Pierce said. [READ MORE]
