A small business owner in St Louis pulled out a gun and shot dead all three of his employees after an argument and then killed himself, it was revealed Thursday.
The owner of AK Home Health Care could seen on surveillance cameras shouting at his employees in the tiny office Thursday afternoon before producing a handgun and killing everyone in the room, police said. The man then turned the pistol on himself.
A sobbing family member said all of the dead, two men and two women, are family members and are immigrants from Somalia.
The owner of the business is a man named Khandra Muse, of O’Fallon, Missouri – a St Louis suburb, the St Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Police have not identified either the perpetrator or the victims. Authorities say all the dead were in their 40s and 50s.
Police are still investigating what drove the business owner to open fire on his employees. The nature of the argument is unknown at this time and the confrontation lasted on a few moments before the perpetrator pulled out the semi-automatic pistol and started shooting.
‘We don’t know if this was a thing that carried over into today or was initiated today,’ St Louis Police Captain Michael Sack.
While police were still investigating a crime scene, a woman wearing a hijab tried to enter the business. When she was block by police, she collapsed to the sidewalk, sobbing.
