The Postal Service will be providing resources to all employees at the East Lamar Carrier Annex in the coming days and weeks. The violence follows other shootings in the Memphis area in recent weeks. The franchise owner of a sushi counter inside a Kroger grocery store fatally shot one person and wounded 14 others before killing himself on September 23, investigators said.

A week later, a teenage boy was shot and critically wounded inside a Memphis school and police detained a second boy believed to be the shooter. Postal Service workers were fatally shot Tuesday at a postal facility in Memphis and a third employee identified as the shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot, authorities said. It was the third high-profile shooting in or near that west Tennessee city in weeks.

Postal Inspector Susan Link said the three postal workers were found dead after the shooting at the East Lamar Carrier Annex in a prominent Memphis neighborhood. FBI spokeswoman Lisa-Anne Culp said the shooting was carried out by a third postal service worker, who shot him or herself. No identities or motive were released by Link or Culp at a brief news conference late Tuesday afternoon.
