Three people are dead — including the gunman — after a shooting this morning at a UPS facility in Inglenook, according to Birmingham officials.
Three People Left Dead After Former Employee Shoots UPS Facility
Via AL News reports:
The incident happened just before 9:30 a.m. as police received multiple calls of an active shooter. Several employees fled the scene.
“We have no information regarding the motivation,” said Birmingham Police Chief A.C. Roper. “We have a pretty good idea about what transpired.”
Police entered the building and found the three dead people, Roper said. The two other people killed were employees.
The shooter, a white male in his late 40s, is a former employee and was wearing a UPS uniform.
It is believed the gunman shot himself.
Roper said no one else was injured. Police did not fire any shots, Roper said.
The shooting happened at 4601 Inglenook Lane in a warehouse near the facility offices, Roper said.
“It is extremely troubling for the city, for the families involved. When they came to work today they had no idea it would be their last day alive on earth,” Roper said. “They were just people working at their jobs.”
Police are transporting employees and will make counselors available to them.
As a precautionary measure, the campus of Springville elementary and middle schools were briefly placed on lock down because there is a connection between a person involved in the shooting and a child at the school, St. Clair County officials said.
“It was just a precaution in case he was still at large,” said Phillip Johnson, facilities manager for the county school system.

Driving is easy ? . The sorters are the ones that do the real work and don't get paid ? if the managers don't like you.
I don't blame him for going postal damn near did the same thing when I was working there and got a $25 check one week -

All of ups is part time bruh. You don't get to full time till you become driver. I don't know how it is where you are, but the sorting is slave work. You don't get paid ? and thats if the managers and supervisors aren't ? . If they don't like you, you might as well get a paper route because that would make more money. I showed up early, set the equipment up before we started, worked my ass off and in the end I was getting $25 dollars at the most after the first couple of weeks. My last check was for $13.
That last check had me in my car like
all passive aggressive and ? then I drove around the city for 30 minutes, debating if I wanted to blow what little money I had on strippers or guns to go light that fatheaded supervisor up lol.
If you need money, go for it but don't use it for your prime source of income because the checks will fluctuate. The benefits you get are good also but you half to stay with them for a year and if your sorting its very likely you will get injured sooner or later so you may not get the benefits in time -

To be honest only apply during the holidays for that. Once christmas and all that was over they cut you on your hours unless you are able to toss 150 lbs boxes around. During the holidays I actually worked for the most part 3 1/2 hours unless I was sick. Also don't work if you get the flu. You can't really take days off during the probationary period because they will fire you regardless and that ? will ? you literally. A guy that was working there for year or something was fired then when he broke his leg on the job and obviously couldn't go to work for awhile. Now that can be anywhere, but that ? shocked me because they didn't even discuss it they just fired his ass.
