Breaking News: 3 reported dead in Connecticut warehouse shooting

NEW YORK — At least three people were killed Tuesday and three others injured in a shooting at a beer distribution firm in Connecticut, local media reported. The Hartford Courant daily said police responded to the scene at Hartford Distributors in Manchester, Connecticut around 7:30 am (1130 GMT) at the time of a shift change, with 35 to 40 people inside. The paper initially said the gunman with a rifle was shot by police, but later reported that the man, an employee, killed himself as police officers approached. It was not immediately clear if the gunman was counted among the three dead. State police contacted by AFP could not immediately confirm the information. Local television said multiple ambulances and SWAT team members were called to the scene
