According to a report on MSNBC:

A gunman opened fire at a solar and fiber optics manufacturer on Monday, killing five people and wounding four others before killing himself in a domestic violence dispute, police said.

The shooting at Emcore Corp. appeared to involve the gunman's ex-wife or girlfriend, who was among the dead, police Chief Ray Schultz said. He said the gunman was a former employee.

The 37-year-old male had at least one prior run-in involving domestic violence, Schultz said.

KOB.com has posted raw video of Chief Ray Schultz's press conference.

I first saw the breaking story on Twitter where Gadi Schwartz of Eyewitness News 4 has been updating it frequently as more information is available.
