A female employee was later found by an Amazon delivery van with a gunshot wound, sources said.

Company officials said the worker was an employee of a delivery service partner contracted with Amazon.

“We are deeply troubled by this terrible incident and offer our support to our team and partners based at our Richmond area delivery station,” Amazon officials said. “This is an active investigation and we are cooperating with the Chesterfield County Police Department, so we are deferring any further comment to them at this time.”
