An employee allegedly shot and injured three co-workers at a Smile Direct Club manufacturing facility in the Antioch neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee, early Tuesday, officials said.
One worker was struck in the chest, one in the abdomen and one in the leg, Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron said at a news conference.
One of the victims is in critical condition, he said.
The suspected gunman, a 22-year-old employee, left the building as officers responded to the call, but officers spotted him at an intersection and demanded he drop the weapon, police said.
The suspect, armed with a semi-automatic pistol with an extended magazine, instead directed the gun toward officers, according to Aaron.
The suspect was shot by police and taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.

Smile Direct Club said in a statement, "The safety of our team members is a top priority for our Company and we maintain strict security protocols and a no weapons policy at all of our facilities. We are working with the local police as they investigate this matter."
Apparently their 'security protocols' need a revision?
Did they have a no guns allowed sign? That should have prevented this.
Thank god there was a no weapons policy at this establishment! Who knows what would happen!

If the guy was that pissed off, he should have burned down a Wendy’s.
Apparently you can do that with no negative ramifications.
Is FEMA there yet?
Is Joementia flying in?
Is Dr. Jill treating the wounded?
Commodus:
I wonder, did your friend smile at his own death?
Maximus:
You must know. He was your father.
Commodus:
You loved my father, I know. But so did I. That makes us brothers, doesn't it? Smile for me now, brother.
Nashville. I hope what I’m thinking turns out to be wrong.
“I’m gonna wipe that smile right off’n your face!”
At least I think that’s how the song goes.
Commodus wasn’t smiling after he lost against Maximus.
But, Maximus WAS smiling after he won and finally killed Commodus.
Supposedly, if you get shot at an employer with such a policy, if you sue for failure to maintain a safe environment; insurance companies automatically settle quickly because they do NOT want to take it to court.
Well then the shooter's in real big trouble now, probably will get fired.

I’m always amazed at the vapid statements from some company spokes-drone. It’s like a pseudo-human reading some boilerplate PR.
“The actions don’t reflect who we are...”
“Safety is our top priority...”
“We believe in diversity and inclusion.”
You forgot “world peace”.
Well...it’s no skin off my teeth.
(don't masks make their marketing more difficult?)
Someone not happy at the Smile Direct Club?
Who’da thought it!
Not a protected class, your typical evil ‘white supremacist’, millennial too, probably was fired which hurt his ‘feelings’.
It was probably in the employee guide book also.
