An employee at a warehouse in the US opened fire at work on Thursday, killing three people before taking her own life, authorities said. Several other people were wounded.

The suspect was identified as Snochia Moseley, a 26-year-old temporary worker at the Rite Aid distribution centre in northeastern Maryland, by Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler.

The shooter had been taken into custody in critical condition that morning. Her name was not immediately released. It appeared that only one weapon, a handgun, was used and no shots were fired by responding law enforcement officers, Gahler said.

Krystal Watson, 33, said her husband, Eric, works at the facility and told her told her that the suspect had been arguing with somebody else near a time clock after a “town hall meeting”.

“She didn’t have a particular target. She was just shooting,” Watson said as she drove away from a fire station where relatives tried to reunite with loved ones.

“She didn’t aim. She just shot,” Watson said.
