The Latest: Police official IDs UPS warehouse shooter

Three people have been killed and two more were injured after a shooting at a UPS facility in San Francisco Wednesday morning, according to police. 

A San Francisco police department official has identified the gunman who opened fire at a UPS warehouse in the city as Jimmy Lam.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation into the shooting is ongoing.

The official said Lam is from San Francisco, but had no immediate details on his background. The official noted the name is a common one in the San Francisco Bay Area, so finding information about the correct Jimmy Lam required significant record searches.

The shooter, whose motive remained unknown as of Wednesday evening, died on the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, San Francisco Police Assistant Chief Toney Chaplin said in a news conference.

In total, the gunman shot six people, including himself. Five people were injured while trying to escape, police said.
