AP:
... Police said Wesley N. [Neal] Higdon, 25, had an argument with his supervisor about wearing safety goggles and using his cell phone while was at his press machine Tuesday.
Later that night, as the supervisor escorted him from the building, Higdon shot him, apparently using a .45-caliber pistol he kept in his car. Then, he charged into a break room and the plant floor and kept shooting before turning the gun himself, police said.
"He just walked in, looked like he meant business, and started shooting at everybody," Henderson Police Sgt. John Nevels said at a news conference.

"The cause behind this incident is unknown; however, the suspect is known to have gotten into an argument with a supervisor earlier in the evening," according to the police force's statement.
