Fresno police told KMPH that the guman walked into the business looking for a specific person. Reporter Liz Gonzalez says as many as 60 workers may have been inside at the time of the shooting, according to KMPH.

"He said, 'There's a guy shooting people over there,' " Medina said.

Jesus Davila was at a bus stop when a factory employee ran up and yelled that a man was shooting inside the plant, according to the newspaper. Davila said he then heard a loud gunshot and saw the suspected shooter outside the factory.

According to the Fresno Bee, Davila said the meat factory worker told him that the gunman had just gotten out of jail.

"He said the guy was in nine years and he was crazy," Davila told the newspaper.
