Shock and confusion. That's what the brother of the man police say gunned down five co-workers at a manufacturing plant in Western Kentucky says his family is feeling right now.
On Wednesday, 25-year-old Wesley Higdon showed up at his job at Atlantis Plastics in Henderson and shot his supervisor and four co-workers to death. He then turned the gun on himself.
His brother, Chris Higdon, says he last saw his brother three weeks before the shooting and he seemed happy. But he says Higdon's girlfriend told him in private that Wesley showed a lot of anger and frustration towards her in recent months.
Chris says no one may never know what set his brother off, but right now, he's just thinking about the victims' families.
"Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are going out to all the victims and their families, you know I feel so awful about this, and I hate it, and I want, I want them to know, you know, that we're sorry." Chris Higdon told the media.
Higdon says, when their father passed away, the brothers were sent to live with separate mothers. They reunited 10 years ago and have been close ever since.
