Three of the wounded are said to be in critical condition, and two others are stable.
The shooting took place Thursday morning at ABB Power, Inc., a Swiss-based company makes power transmission and industrial automation equipment. The St. Louis Business Journal reports that the alleged gunman had previously filed a class-action lawsuit against the company over its retirement benefits.
