Man fatally shoots 2 co-workers at a Virginia business before killing himself, police say
Police said the suspect was a coworker and that the shooting followed a dispute, leaving one employee in stable condition and two others dead.
- On Wednesday morning, an active shooter incident at a United Rentals facility in Manassas left three male employees in critical condition, which Manassas Police Chief Doug Keen described as workplace violence.
- Investigators identified 37-year-old Marvin Grant, a coworker, as the alleged gunman and believe he has fled Northern Virginia, prompting authorities to issue a "be on the lookout" alert.
- Keen reported "many shots fired" during the attack, with two victims transported to UVA Prince William Medical Center and one to Inova Fairfax Hospital.
- Jennie Dean Elementary School was placed in "Secure the Building" status, with students redirected to Metz Middle School for safety; lockdowns have since been lifted and operations returned to normal.
- Detectives are investigating the motive, with Keen stating their working theory involves an altercation that precipitated the gunfire as the search for Grant continues.
