MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- A 29-year-old postal employee was charged with two counts of attempted murder Friday after authorities said he used two guns to fire shots inside the main post office in Alabama's capital city.
No one was injured in the shootings Thursday night. Officials weren't disclosing a motive or whether the employee was targeting any specific employee.
Officials said the employee, Arthur Lee Darby Jr., was in the Montgomery County Jail with bond set at $1 million.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office, Clark Morris, said the man showed up for work in the mail sorting area and began firing shots about 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Witnesses said a supervisor yelled that a man had a gun, and employees scurried outside.
