SHEBOYGAN, Wis. -- A gunman wearing camouflage shot a woman to death at a Wisconsin factory where she was working early today, police said.

It wasn't immediately clear if the shooter escaped or was still inside the Rockline Industries plant, police Capt. David Derus said. Other employees quickly evacuated the building near downtown Sheboygan as officers arrived and cordoned off the area.

The female employee died shortly after the 4:30 a.m. shooting, Sheboygan Police Lt. Tim Eirich said. She was not immediately identified. No further information was released.

Rockline Industries, headquartered in Sheboygan, makes items including coffee filters and baby wipes.
