Timothy G. Hendron killed three men and himself at a St. Louis, Missouri, workplace Thursday. Hendron arrived at work armed with hundreds of bullets and an assault rifle, two handguns and a shotgun. He opened fire at about 6:30 a.m. (7:30 a.m. ET) Thursday at ABB Inc., a St. Louis transformer manufacturing company, police said.
Hendron was one of a group of ABB employees listed in a lawsuit filed in 2006 against administrators of the company's retirement plan. Police said they were working closely with ABB executives to get more information about the suspect and his status with the company prior to the incident.
"I would imagine that you could say yes [it was premeditated], because most people don't come to work armed in such a manner, but that's just speculation," St. Louis Police Capt. Michael Sack said. "We have to go back and try and figure out what motivated him and like I said, we may never truly know what motivated him to do this."
The federal suit filed by Hendron and others accuses pension plan administrators of, among other things, causing the plan to include "unreasonable and excessive" fees and expenses, paid by participants, without their knowledge and not used for their benefit or that of the plan.
Police are still looking into the motive for the shooting, but Sack said it could remain a mystery.
