LENNOX, S.D. (AP) — A fatal workplace shooting in the town of Lennox has shaken residents who say the community is typically a quiet place.

A man killed one person and injured two others in a shooting incident Thursday at a Sioux Steel Company location known as ProTec. The suspected gunman is believed to be a man found dead inside a burned semi-trailer south of the town that’s about 20 miles southwest of Sioux Falls. Authorities have not identified anyone involved.

Sioux Steel owner Scott Rysdon calls the incident a senseless tragedy. Mayor Orville Wiebers tells the Argus Leader newspaper that nothing like it has ever happened in the town of about 2,200 people.

Lincoln County State’s Attorney Tom Wollman tells KELO-TV that it’s going to take a lot for the community to recover.
