GOSHEN, Ind. (AP) — A gunman who shot seven of his factory co-workers also shot himself four times with his 12-gauge shotgun before dying, according to the coroner.
Robert Wissman had two wounds to the head, one to his neck and a chest wound, coroner Jeff Landrum said.
Landrum ruled Wissman's death on Thursday a suicide but acknowledged his findings might cause some to wonder how a person could survive three shots before firing the last one.
"If I felt more evidence was needed, I would say so or say the investigation was pending," Landrum said.
Wissman went on the shooting spree Thursday afternoon, several hours after he had quarreled with another employee over a female co-worker, police said. Greg Oswald, the plant manager of Nu-Wood Decorative Millwork, died in the rampage.
Of the six others wounded, Rosario Rodriguez, 27, remained in critical condition Sunday and Kaestner K. Richard, 52, was in fair condition, both suffering head wounds. Michelle Morgan, who is three months pregnant, was in fair condition in hospital Sunday with wounds to the hip and hand.
