A male employee at ConAgra Foods in northwest Indianapolis reportedly fired several shots and killed a male co-worker, before turning the gun on himself, Indianapolis' NBC-affiliate WTHR reported. The shooter was pronounced dead at the scene, while the victim was taken to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead, according to WTHR.
Indianapolis police spokesperson Officer Michael Hewitt confirmed with NBC News that it was a murder-suicide.
A witness told police the suspected shooter made eye contact with the victim in the break room, and shortly thereafter the victim was shot in the back while heading toward a vending machine, The Indianapolis Star reported. Police say the shootings took place at 6:40 p.m. ET, according to the newspaper.
Both names have not been released. The motive for the shooting is under investigation, WTHR reported.
WTHR noted the ConAgra facility "manufactures edible fats & oils, cheese, eggs and egg substitutes, milk and butter products, dairy products and eggs, engineering and research and technology-based services," according to MacRae's Blue Book.

I'm suprised this does'nt happen more often. There's been some people at work that almost pushed me over the edge.
This is an everyday occurrence. What ever happened to talking, walking away, forgiveness, banging your head against a brick wall...something anything but these terrible shootings.
My condolences to the families and friends of the victim and the shooter.
Now, before we start trying to blame the NRA or the politicians or who/what ever, how about we look at why people are so angry, or desperate, or depressed that they use a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Lets see if we can find out what in our culture drives people to shoot each other, rather than find a peaceful solution.
The two men are probably butt-buddies......must've been looking for love in all the wrong places.
Hey, you win for being the first idiot to make his presence known. Congrats you jackass.
Thank you, queer boy.
First off u are very disrespectful. My father did not have any butt buddies he was a married man with children and grandchildren. Just because u enjoy anal penetration does not mean my father did. You cold hearted self centered a**hole.
please help support the Hicks family through this tragedy
