LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- A female former employee opened fire at a 24-hour postal service sorting facility in Goleta, California, killing six people and critically wounding another, before turning the gun on herself, authorities said early Tuesday.

"That's what we believe," Santa Barbara County Sheriff Jim Anderson said.

The shootings took place around 9:15 p.m. Monday (12:15 a.m. ET Tuesday).

SWAT teams found seven people dead inside the building where about 40 to 50 people had been working, Anderson said. The shootings took place "at different areas around the building," he added. (Watch why finding the shooter was a challenge -- 1:18)

"One of the deceased appeared to have suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound," he said. "We have concluded the search inside, and we do not believe there is any further threat to the community."

yes, Reganomics has definately made work more interesting hasn't it? Modern society is like a sick experiment where you take humans who would naturally be self sufficent and independent in small family groups, living in harmony with nature with their own customs and beliefs. They take that all away, forcing people to survive by working for others who look down on them in a fake, material, product driven madness, ignorant of the repercussions of this unsustainable soul-sucking way of life. Thereby taking away any sense of true freedom or independent survival. It's like you have to file 10 pages of paperwork to take a shit now.

there are so many people that i work with that have that look in their eye that they have been pushed to the edge, and one more nudge and they are coming in blasting.
