Three people are dead after a man who was fired from his job at a Ford dealership in the San Francisco Bay Area fatally shot two employees, according to local media reports.

In a statement posted to Facebook, the Morgan Hill Police Department confirmed that two of the dealership's employees had been shot and were pronounced dead at the scene.

Officers responded to 9-1-1 calls of shots fired inside the Ford store and found a man with a handgun by his side and dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said. Employees then directed officers to the bodies of two workers inside the building.

An investigation is ongoing. Doug MacGlashan, who was working in the parts department, told KRON-TV that the gunman was a former employee.

The service and parts director “had just fired a parts rep that he had said he was going to fire earlier in the day. And I guess the parts rep went outside, got a gun, went into the service and parts director’s office and shot him,” MacGlashan said.

The man also killed the parts manager, he said.

Other details were not immediately released.

Photos and videos showed police cars swarming the area and employees hugging each other.
