There was no discussion, no argument, no warning at all, police said. Police said the shooter left the scene.

According to Alabama State police, the shooter was killed in a single vehicle crash hours later.

Police aren't sure if the shooter was targeting a certain coworker or not, but they said they know he fired several shots.

The company, where the shooting happened, makes metal piping and transfer systems.

"Right now, there's a lot of unemployed people. They're stealing, shooting, killing. They're just doing it. They're unhappy. That's my point of view, but I'm trying to stay out of the line of fire. We try to look out for each other here," said Willie Brooks, who works at a steel yard on Fulton Industrial Boulevard.

Police have not released the name of the shooter or the victim.
