One person was killed and three were wounded Tuesday by a gunman at a food service equipment company in Fresno, Calif., police said.

The suspected gunman, a co-worker of the victims, was found outside the plant with a gunshot wound. 

Two of the victims are in critical condition.

The suspect was identified as Lawrence Jones, 42. He is in critical condition from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police say.

The shooting occurred at the Apple Valley Farms plant in the central part of the city.

Apple Valley Farms, Inc. is a food service equipment company that was established in 2005, according to online business records. A call to the company went to a voicemail recording that said "due to an emergency we are closed for the day."
