One killed in 'workplace violence' shooting at Dart Container plant in Conyers, Georgia | |
(about 5 hours later) | |
One employee was shot at a food service plant in Conyers, Georgia, and later died. Local schools were placed on lockdown while police hunted for a suspect, who was later caught in the neighboring state of Alabama. | |
A contract employee identified as Cameron Golden was arrested Friday afternoon and charged with murdering fellow employee Taurus Andrews. | |
Rockdale County Sheriff Eric Levett described the shooting as "workplace violence," but said that Golden's motives were still being investigated. | |
“We don't if Mr. Golden was upset with Dart Container, was he upset with any particular person there? We just don't know those answers as of yet," Levett told reporters on Friday evening. | |
Gunfire broke out at the plant on Friday morning, after Golden entered the Dart Container Corp. facility at about 7am local time and shot an employee. | |
The victim, identified as Andrews, later passed away from his injuries at an area hospital. | |
Shortly after the incident, Levett said his deputies had identified a “person of interest” and were conducting a manhunt. Three local schools were locked down as a precaution. | |
Conyers is a suburb of Atlanta. Dart Container is the world’s largest manufacturer of styrofoam cups and containers for the food industry. | |
