Yvonne Hiller Taken into Custody After Allegedly Fatally Shooting Two Employees at Kraft Foods Philadelphia Plant

Yvonne Hiller was taken into police custody Thursday night after she allegedly shot employees inside a Kraft Foods baking plant in northeast Philadelphia. According to Philly.com, Hiller, who was identified by coworkers, had just been suspended from her job and escorted out. She later returned with a handgun and started shooting killing two and wounding one employee.

Hiller was taken into custody by SWAT after a standoff on the second floor of the plant at 12000 Roosevelt Blvd., police said. About 100 workers were reportedly inside the plant, which was formerly operated by Nabisco, when the shooting started at 8:45 p.m., police said.When police arrived, the woman fired one shot at three officers but they did not return fire. After turning out lights on the second floor, the woman hunkered down in an office until she was arrested at 9:35 p.m. and gun was recovered. Source
Here you have innocent, hardworking and decent people trying to earn their keep, yet Yvonne Hiller had so little regard for them during her shooting rampage. There is just so much madness occurring on a daily basis across the nation that one has to wonder when it will come to an end. There has been so much gun violence in the news lately with no end in sight.
