Four people were killed and 14 others injured in a Thursday afternoon rampage through a rural Kansas county that ended with the death of the gunman at police hands.
The gunman, identified by several Wichita news outlets as Cedric Ford, was a disgruntled worker at Excel Industries in Hesston, which suffered all the fatalities.
Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton told reporters late in the evening that the gunman killed three Excel workers people before the first officer called to the scene shot him dead. Sheriff Walton said the gunman fired at people from his truck in nearby Newton streets and wounded one person. Another person was shot on Highway 81 on the way to Hesston.
He arrived at the Excel parking lot and shot one person, before going inside the plant and began shooting.
Sheriff Walton said five of the victims were in critical condition Thursday night.
âIt was a black male with an AK-47 who was an employee, or used to be,â one woman told Wichita TV station KAKE just outside Excel, a company that makes Big Dog and Hustler mowing equipment. Eyewitness from inside the factory confirmed her account.
Ford fits that description, and the Facebook page of a Cedric Ford identifies him as an Excel worker and shows photos and videos of Ford wielding and using multiple firearms. He had a criminal record in Kansas and his native Florida, according to KWCH, the CBS affiliate in Wichita.
The woman told KAKE that her husband is a supervisor at Excel and she had other friends at the plant, one of whom she said had been shot and critically injured. She said she got her information from her husband inside the plant during a company head count for survivors.

âWe got signs saying âno guns,â but this guyâs got an AK and began spraying,â Mr. Pierce said.
No name or description of the perp? Must be a white Christian.
I read one report that quoted the cops as saying it was a .223
(Photo may disappear if Facebook takes down Ford's Facebook page.)
Cedric Ford-A member of the dindu nuffin family.
Based on that banana clip in the pic, that is no .223.
He’s far from white.
That is why this story isn’t getting any national exposure, and Obama isn’t going to talk about it.
His AK is definitely 7.62x39, not that it matters much.
I HATE IT when Big Media equates the murderer with the victims when counting the dead......I just hate it.
But we’ve been called “racist” for coming to the conclusion that he’s an Obama-son?
FWIW only white French people name their kids Cedric.
Doesn’t fit the narrative, which means he approves.
Signs?! And the gunman ignored them? Imagine that.
Gun Free Zones = Fish in a Barrel / Target Rich Environment
Young black men: 3% of the population. 50% of the murder.
From February 23:
“Woke up this morning vibing God is good”
Alrighty then.
-that ended with the death of the gunman at police hands-
Yep, that coulda been put a different way.
Not any more....
Mr. Pierce must of watched and believed this
Gun free zone signs work

Any wonder why Obama wants to eliminate the arrest record question from job applications?
Were the victims black or white or a combination? Shooter a Muslim convert? Inquiring minds.
Is that not just the most moronic statement ever made?
