"The distribution center is where the products are received and processed for delivery," he said. “This is part of a large facility that is a distribution center. The shooting occurred next to the main building."

The Hartford State Sheriff's Office tweeted that several officials were dispatched to the scene at 9:09 am ET. People are asked to avoid the area outside the city of Perryman. There are houses, churches and a cemetery in the area. The train tracks run next to a business park”.
