Overview
- Police say two Barku Plastics supervisors, Vice President Tobias Gleinig and Ivan Aldergot, were fatally shot Monday morning in Cleveland, Tennessee.
- Both victims were German citizens working at the U.S. subsidiary of Germany-based Barku Kunststofftechnik.
- Officers identified a possible shooter and tracked a linked vehicle to a Bradley County residence outside the city limits.
- After a multi-hour SWAT standoff, robots and a drone were deployed into the home, where the suspect was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot.
