SAN FRANCISCO (KRON)-Four people are dead, including the gunman, after an employee opened fire at a UPS Center in San Francisco Wednesday morning.

The shooting happened at around 9:00 a.m. inside of the UPS customer service center near 17th and Utah.

SFPD says there are six shooting victims. Four are dead, including the gunman.

Police responded to a report of multiple people shot. They entered the building and confronted the gunman, who was wearing a UPS uniform. Once police confronted him, he put the gun to his head and shot himself.
