HESSTON

An employee went on a shooting spree Thursday afternoon that left three people dead and injured 12 at a manufacturing plant in Hesston, about 35 miles north of Wichita.

Two other people were shot earlier, one in Newton and one on U.S. 81.

The suspected gunman – identified by two co-workers who witnessed the shootings as Cedric Ford – was shot and killed inside the plant by a Hesston police officer.

“This is just a horrible incident here,” Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton said. “It’s going to be a lot of sad people before this is all over.”

Walton said authorities have an idea of the motive, “something that triggered this particular individual.” But he did not offer any details Thursday evening.

The shooting at Excel Industries, which manufactures lawn mowers and employs about 1,000 people, was reported shortly after 5 p.m. on Thursday. About 150 people were inside the plant when the shooting began.
