ANDERSON, S.C.—A former employee shot and wounded two workers at an industrial plant in South Carolina before taking his own life, authorities said. The shooting occurred about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Fraenkische plant in Anderson County. Two people were wounded, one critically, and taken to a hospital, county Coroner Greg Shore told local media. Sheriff Chad McBride said about 30 employees were in the plant at the time of the shooting. The workers fled to a nearby business, McBride said. He indicated during a press briefing that the two victims were employed at the plant. Bruce D. Vandermosten Jr., 51, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was a former employee at the plant, Shore said. Investigators haven’t said what led to the shooting or if Vandermosten was targeting certain employees. Fraenkische is a German company that makes pipes and has about two dozen locations around the world.
