January 7, 2010 1:31 p.m. EST
(CNN) -- Three people were killed and five others wounded Thursday in a shooting at a St. Louis, Missouri, transformer manufacturing company, police said.
It was unclear whether the suspect was among those killed at ABB Inc., St. Louis Metropolitan Police said in a statement.
The shooting occurred just before 6:30 a.m. Arriving officers were told that a man had entered the building with a rifle and a handgun, and that several people had been shot, police said.
"Police made a perimeter around the business and located those victims who needed medical attention," the statement said.
Of the five at area hospitals, three victims were listed in critical condition and two in fair condition, police said.
Authorities were conducting a room-to-room search of the large building, as well as surrounding buildings at the ABB complex, the statement said. Interstate 70 and surface streets in the area were shut down.
ABB spokesman Bob Fesmire said earlier there are about 100 employees who work at the facility, but some of them were unable to come in Thursday because of heavy snow.
