Minnesota: Shooting Toll Rises to Six


The death toll from an attack at a sign company in Minneapolis rose to six, including the gunman, after another victim died on Friday, the police said. The gunman was identified as Andrew Engeldinger, 36, who had been fired from the business, Accent Signage Systems. Chief Tim Dolan of the Minneapolis Police Department said Mr. Engeldinger might have chosen to spare some former co-workers in the attack on Thursday. “It’s clear he did walk by some people, very clear,” Chief Dolan said. The police gave no details about why Mr. Engeldinger had been fired. A 9-millimeter semiautomatic Glock was used in the shooting, Chief Dolan said, and investigators found another gun and packaging for 10,000 rounds of ammunition in Mr. Engeldinger’s house. Among those killed were the company’s owner, Reuven Rahamim, 61, and Keith Basinski, a UPS driver. Names of other victims were not released.
