** St. Louis Police have put out an APB for a vehicle associated with the shooting. It is a 2001 Nissan truck, pewter in color with Missouri tags “0KK 696″. Police say the subject is armed with an assault rifle. He carried a handgun, a rifle and an ammunition belt.
A man shot at least one person dead today at ABB Power plant in St. Louis.
The AP reported:
A man with an assault rifle walked into a power company Thursday and opened fire, killing one person and wounding four others, authorities said. Officers surrounded the building as they searched for the gunman.
The shooting occurred around 6:30 a.m. at the ABB Power plant on the city’s north side and three hours later, police believed the gunman was still in the building.
Fire Department spokesman Bob Keuss identified the suspected shooter as Timothy Herndon of Webster Groves. Broadcast reports said he was an employee of the plant, but Keuss could not confirm that.
Names of the victims were not immediately released. Two were hospitalized in critical condition and one was in serious condition, Keuss said. The other had injuries he described as minor.
The man decided to shoot up the place on the coldest day of the year here in St. Louis. The temperatures are expected to drop near 0 degrees tonight.
The ABB facility is in North St. Louis City off of Interstate 70 north of downtown.
KMOX News confirms Henrdon was a plaintiff in a lawsuit against ABB regarding pension losses.
Here’s the latest video from local FOX 2:
Police have shut down Interstate 70 between Jennings Station and Union in both directions near the shooting scene.
UPDATE: The suspect shot himself dead in the Human Resource’s office.

isolated incident.
Corporal Vere commented:
the system is working.
olm commented:
I don’t think any system is working.
I wonder how long before Obama admits it.
Corporal Vere commented:
Here is another isolated incident that MSNBC, et al will not cover.
“Gunmen killed at least seven people in a drive-by shooting outside a church in southern Egypt as worshippers left a midnight Mass to celebrate Coptic Christmas, Egyptian security officials said.”
I’ll stop now.
olm commented:
Correct me if i’m wrong but from what i’ve heard one flight from Portland to Maui was turned around yesterday, one to Miami today and now this shooting today. I’m sure this is some guy going postal for whatever reason but Obama’s natives are getting restless.
Something’s gotta give.
DomesticGoddess commented:
Heard he was upset over a change in his union benefits a few years ago. Hmm – perhaps this is a case of entitlement gone awry?
YeahRight commented:
My prayers are with those families affected by this deranged idiot.
Though and unfortunately this is yet another nail in the coffin for gun rights after our inept politicians get through with it.

Well, this will help his case! What an evil moron.
Cargosquid commented:
Just think of the press if this guy was a Tea Party member. Outcries of “terrorist” would ring throughout the state media….

Pension = union = SEIU = democrat = crazed lunatic.
He must of took the “motto’ bring a gun to a knife fight very seriously.
Of course I could be wrong.

“Pension = union = SEIU = democrat = crazed lunatic.”
So much for “one for all and all for one”.
jacknjill commented:
Bet the killer has an Obama bumper sticker on his vehicle.
We can count on seeing more of this across the country. Unemployed people with no HOPE or CHANGE in their pocket who come to the end of their Obama rope a dope and snap.
Such is life enslaved on the Democrat plantation.
anon commented:
MSNBC will cover this. They’ll try to use it as a cover story of why assault rifles should be banned. The left uses every opportunity it has to kill the 2nd Amendment (and the Constitution).
PB-in-AL commented:
Interesting that whenever a long gun is involved it is ALWAYS an “assault rifle”. How do they know that it wasn’t just a run of the mill 30-06 hunting rifle?
@anon – you’re likely right, another assault of the 2nd because of an alleged “assault rifle”.
Peter commented:
How long until Mr. Tingly Leg, Rachel Madcow and The Olbertard blame the gun rather than the shooter and scream for new gun laws?
5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1

Peter,
Who will hear it?
