'Multiple people shot at Delaware County Linen in Chester, Pa.
Some streets in the area were blocked off by police tape.

Action News is working to figure out how many people have been injured and their conditions.

It is not yet known if there have been any arrests.

This a developing story and will be updated when more information becomes available.'
''According to sources, a suspect is in custody in connection with the shooting, which happened just before 9 a.m. on the 2600 block of West 4th Street.

Most available police officers in the area headed to the area, with a county-wide call for help going out, sources said.''
 
'WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Police are responding to reports of a shooting at a Chester, Pa. business Wednesday morning.
  1. At least two people were killed and three more were injured, but investigators were still working to determine the total number of victims and the severity of their injuries.
  2. The suspected shooter is in custody, according to Chester Mayor Stefan Roots.'
''Delaware County Linen, the site of Wednesday’s reported shooting in Chester, is a linen-rental company that has been in business since 1988, according to the company’s website.
The company specializes in providing tablecloths, bed linens and other products to restaurants, country clubs, hotels and other business in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Northern Maryland''

I'm wondering if this is a specific personal grudge.

It seems an odd place for a random shooter to target.

Wilbert Rosado-Ruiz, suspect in mass shooting at Delaware County linen busines
''Stollsteimer said Rosado-Ruiz, a disgruntled employee, allegedly entered the business on the 2600 block of West Fourth Street at about 8:30 a.m. and got into an argument with a co-worker. He left briefly, then returned with a gun and shot the woman, wounding her.

After shooting the four other victims, Stollsteimer said Rosado-Ruiz calmly walked out of the business. He spied the first victim, who had fled the premises, and attempted to shoot her again with either an empty or misfiring handgun, then got in his car and left the area. He was soon arrested without incident by a Trainer police officer who heard the suspect description and spotted him, Stollsteimer said.''

Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said a "disgruntled employee" is suspected of walking into Delaware County Linen in Chester, Pennsylvania Wednesday and opening fire on his coworkers. Five people were shot, two of whom were killed. LATEST UPDATES: https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/..
So my suspicion was correct. This was personal.
 
It's hard to believe that he was ever an employee at a linen shoppe.
You get all types working in that kind of business. Delivery drivers, people who use industrial equipment for steaming, washing, pressing... This wasn't a boutique, it was a rental company supplying linens to large scale businesses like hotels. It was probably more like a factory or a warehouse than a storefront.

MOO
 
“Stollsteimer said he believed the argument wasn't "unusual" since Rosado-Ruiz has "problems with the employees.
My understanding is that he has been complained about by other employees of the business,"said Stollsteimer when asked about the nature of the dispute from a reporter. "I believe there was a meeting of employees with the owner of the business the day before.”

It sounded to me like this was a commercial laundry that had contracts with hotels, restaurants, and maybe even health care facilities or a diaper service.
