Details, such as motive, remain scanty as investigation begins.

Three United States Postal Service (USPS) employees were killed at a Memphis facility Tuesday, one dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. 

The shooting happened at a USPS inspection facility at the East/Lamar Carrier Annex in Orange Mound at the corner of Park and Pendleton, according to Susan Link, a postal inspector in Memphis. 

“Three employees are deceased and there is no ongoing threat,” Link said during a brief news conference Tuesday afternoon. 

Lisa-Anne Culp, Public Affairs Officer with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Memphis office, said ”the shooter was one of the three employees deceased of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound and the investigation is ongoing.”
