PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police say a woman accused of fatally shooting two co-workers and wounding a third at a Kraft Foods plant in Philadelphia had feuded with her victims.

Police Homicide Captain James Clark says 43-year-old Yvonne Hiller of Philadelphia has been charged with two counts of murder, attempted murder and other charges.

Clark says Hiller was suspended Thursday after the latest in a series of altercations with co-workers in the mixing area. He says she returned minutes later with a gun and opened fire on them.

Clark says the suspect found her targets in a third-floor break room. He says she killed two women and critically wounded a man before going to an office and calling police.

Police say Clark has worked for Kraft for about 15 years.
