CHESTER, Pa. (CBS) -- Five people were shot and two were killed after a workplace shooting Wednesday at Delaware County Linen in Chester, Pennsylvania, according to the district attorney.

In a press conference, District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said a disgruntled employee walked into the linen shop and shot five coworkers. Two of the victims were killed and three people were rushed to Crozer-Chester Medical Center in serious condition.

"We have two individuals who have unfortunately lost their life just by showing up to work today by a disgruntled former employee," Stollsteimer said, "and we have three other people who are at the hospital right now and we are all praying for them."
