UPDATED: Another shooting in a gun free zone
A lot of information besides that key fact can be found here:
The Atlantis Plastics factory had a mass public shooting on June 25, 2008 in Henderson County, Kentucky. A total of five people were murdered and one was injured in the attack. I contacted the company's headquarters in Atlanta at (800) 497-7659 to ask them about rules governing concealed handgun within their factories. The ban was part of the employee handbook.
HENDERSON, Ky. — An employee shot and killed four people at a plastics plant before killing himself early Wednesday, police said.
The shooting happened after an employee at Atlantis Plastics had an argument with a supervisor, Henderson police Lt. David Piller said.
In addition to the four deaths, Piller said two others, who were injured, were flown to hospitals in Evansville, Ind.
The employee used a handgun he retrieved during a break, Piller said. . . .

How / where did you confirm it was a "gun free zone"?
people who kill people and then take there own life should be stoped. That person should be ripped apart from limb to limb and left for dead. they should see the pain the cause in the worst way posable. and then there family's should have to pay for the damages these times are messed up. eye for an eye
I'm also looking for a source to confirm that it is a gun free zone. The best I've found is an article saying that under Kentucky law, employers are allowed to prohibit weapons, but it doesn't say whether Atlantis does.
