The shooting happened at a “sprawling complex” with a mix of corporate office and brewing facilities where at least 600 people work, the Associated Press reported. Known to locals as “Miller Valley,” the complex includes the 160-year-old brewery, a distribution center the size of five football fields and an iconic red Miller sign towering overhead.
In a message to employees, Hattersley said the facility will be closed for the rest of the week.
