   St. Louis

   Police  in  St.  Louis, Missouri are looking for a gunman who shot and
   killed  three  people  and wounded five others at an electric products
   factory.
   Police  say  the  suspect  identified  as  51-year-old Timothy Hendron
   entered  the  offices of ABB Power company in St. Louis early Thursday
   and opened fire using an assault rifle and a handgun.
   Several  hours  later,  police continued searching for the suspect and
   any other victims in the large factory complex. They could not confirm
   reports by local media that the shooter was among the dead or injured.
   Officials  say  some  employees  fled  to  the roof of the building in
   freezing temperatures to escape the suspect.
   Police  say  Hendron  is  a  former  employee  of  the  company. Court
   documents in Kansas City, Missouri reveal Hendron was among a group of
   employees  who  had  sued  the  company  for  its  handling  of  their
   retirement accounts.
