Five people have been killed in a shooting at the Molson Coors Brewing Company campus in Milwaukee, Wisconsin state, local officials say.
They say the gunman died from "self-inflicted wounds". The attacker was identified as a 51-year-old Milwaukee resident. His motives were unclear.
The shooting occurred in the early afternoon while hundreds of employees were still at work.
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said it was a "tragic day for the city".
Speaking at a news briefing shortly after Wednesday's shooting, he described it as a "horrific act".
Meanwhile, Milwaukee police chief Alfonso Morales said that the five victims were all employees of the brewing company.
He praised the way the city's police, FBI officers and firefighters responded to the attack.
As the incident unfolded, nearby schools and businesses were locked down, local media report.
Speaking at the White House in Washington, President Donald Trump offered his "deepest condolences to the victims and families in Milwaukee".
He described the gunman as a "wicked murderer".
Wisconsin congressman Mike Gallagher condemned the attack on Twitter, saying: "There's no place for these kinds of hateful and disgusting acts in our society."

Wild west another Wednesday in Milwaukee

Guns dont kill people, people kill people...

If Nigerians are allowed to carry arms, the nations population will drop into half within 24 hrs

Their sins are too much, this might be their punishment from above

Some slowpoke will come here to justify the killings in Nigeria, saying, "but it's happening in USA na"

That's their next line of defense

Oh

Na wa o..

Is this not terror act

In few days time now, Milwaukee police department will release detailed info about attacker, claiming he "has been suffering from mental related issues,stress etc" thereby giving subtle reasons why its okay for Americans to attack fellow Americans in American soil, blaming it on mental status of such attacker and not calling it what it is(terrorism) because those attacks were not carried out by bother nationals

May the dead RIP

What is Slowpoke in saying that? Is it not the truth?

Last year alone more than 500 cases of mass shooting took place in US killing many.

People like you are the reason why Western media continue to paint Africans black while they cover up their own ass.

We knew when boko haram was bombing churches every Sunday and even bomb UN office in Abuja. Did people like you cried then like you are wailing now.

Opposition with no achievement to campaign now turned security issues to only avenue to deceive. Spit

Security issues is not peculiar to Nigeria or Africa alone.

I agree with you. Boko haram has been defeated, Fulani herdsmen are now peaceful, no more bandits, kidnappers no longer operate in Nigeria, suicide cases have become zero, Fuel is now #40/liter, $1=#1. The list goes on....

There are some people I have resolved not to argue with anymore, I'll rather agree with them because they are disconnected from reality.

@comedian & freetech,

The fact both of you can't deny is that security issues is everywhere and even in great USA

However, that of Nigeria is both fuel by irresponsible opposition and craze for quick wealth among our youth.

Peace

Ah their sin bawo?


Why is nobody blaming trump for the security issues in America but blame Buhari for the same in Nigeria.

Double standard and hypocrisy
