Worker Fatally Shot at Recycling Plant
A worker at a recycling plant was shot to death Monday, apparently by robbers, authorities said.
The man, whose name was not immediately released, was working at CRT Inc. in the 10000 block of Knott Avenue when the shooting occurred about 3 p.m.
Two men in their 20s walked into the business, “and there was some kind of confrontation with the employee there,” said Lt. Jim Amormino, a spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. The man worked in an area where money was kept, he said.
The robbers fled in a car driven by a woman in her 50s, police said.
Late Monday, officers had surrounded a house on Western Avenue where one of the suspects may have been hiding.
