What Anthony Ferrill did before Molson Coors mass shooting, and why original reports first said fired employee committed it

What Anthony Ferrill did before Molson Coors mass shooting, and why original reports first said fired employee committed it
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterEmail

New information is coming that gives insight to what led to Anthony Ferrill shooting five people to death before taking his own life at Molson Coors on Wednesday, and how media outlets shared false reports about a fired employee committing the shooting.

The following is information from numerous sources who spoke to WTMJ:

A Miller Coors employee was fired on Wednesday, and he made threats as he left the Miller Valley complex.

When the shooting occurred in the afternoon, that employee was rumored to be the one who did it.

Milwaukee Police went to his home. He was found there and arrested.

Police determined he was not involved in the shooting, but his identity was already being released at Molson Coors and ended up on security paperwork which police obtained.

Full coverage links:

– Multiple people dead including suspect at Molson Coors
– Photo gallery
– Audio: Dispatch call
– Wisconsin Congress members comment about Molson Coors incident on social media
– Presidential candidates chime in about Molson Coors mass shooting

Employees passed on that information to media outlets, but Molson Coors never officially released that information.

Then, it was discovered that Ferrill worked his entire shift on Wednesday.

At the shift change, he left his location, found guns from an as-of-now unknown location, and then committed the shooting.

Sources tell us he has had mental health issues in the past.

Police sources home is loaded with cameras and other surveillance equipment.

His family is devastated.

Sources also tell WTMJ he has felt bullied at Molson Coors and feels he has been racially harassed.
