HENDERSON, Ky.

Work has resumed at a western Kentucky plastics plant where an employee shot five people dead and killed himself.

Plant manager Dean Jorgensen says the plant in Henderson began running limited production Wednesday night.

Police say 25-year-old Wesley N. Higdon fatally shot his supervisor and four others early Wednesday and turned the gun on himself. Another person was wounded in the shooting.

Police say the shooting happened hours after an argument between Higdon and the supervisor over safety goggles and cell phone use on the assembly line.
