MINNEAPOLIS (WKOW)-- Authorities say a gunman killed four people inside a Minneapolis sign-making business before turning the weapon on himself.

Authorities say the shooting took place around 4:35 on Thursday afternoon, in the Bryn Mawr neighborhood in Minneapolis. 

Four other people were wounded, three of them, critically. None of the victim's names have been released.  Details about the gunman have not been released either, other than he was found dead from an apparent self- inflicted gunshot wound. The motive for the shooting has not been identified by police.

Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said employees who were working when the shootings occurred were together and being cared for Thursday evening.
