Arizona’s CHANDLER — An armed contract worker shot and wounded a contract worker outside an Amazon delivery facility in Arizona on Wednesday before shooting and killing the suspect in the parking lot, according to authorities. This may have ended an active shooter situation.
Before 9:30 a.m., the suspect—who was neither an Amazon employee nor a contractor—entered the warehouse complex’s premises in Chandler, a suburb of Phoenix, and shot the unarmed contract worker several times, according to Chandler police.
The suspect was subsequently shot by a second hired Amazon employee, who was there at the time, and died there in the building’s parking lot. The reason for the shooting was not immediately reported.

“We’re not sure what caused this. According to police spokesman Sgt. Jason McClimans, it is still being investigated. We do not currently have any leads on any further suspects, but we do not yet know the shooter’s mental state.
The injured worker was hospitalized and is expected to live, according to McClimans. He said that the other contracted Amazon worker who shot and killed the suspect did not sustain any wounds.
The suspect’s and the two hired workers’ names weren’t right away disclosed. Richard Rocha, an Amazon spokesperson, told The Associated Press that the business is collaborating with law enforcement on the shooting investigation.
“This senseless act of violence in our parking lot leaves us very disturbed. Rocha stated over the phone, “We’re focused on supporting our employees during this challenging time. We’re working with law enforcement while they investigate.
He claimed that while the two contractors in question support Amazon’s delivery network, the fatally shot suspect was not a worker for either Amazon or any of its contractors.

Following the incident, the complex’s operations were put on hold, and all of its staff members and partners were sent home with pay, according to Rocha. No other information regarding the circumstances of the shooting or the involved contract workers was immediately provided by the Amazon representative.
The Chandler facility serves as a pickup location for hired Amazon Flex drivers and other individuals who pick up items to deliver them to clients usually the same or the following day.
Later on, Wednesday, police cars could be seen in the complex’s parking lot, and crime scene tape was used to contain the area.
