PRINCETON, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky woman has died of what police say appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound and another person was injured in a shooting at a ConAgra Foods plant.

Princeton police said in a news release Wednesday that 37-year-old Nellie Renee Nichols of Dawson Springs went to the factory to confront her mother and began firing from a semi-automatic pistol. Police said a male bystander suffered a hand injury not believed to be life-threatening from one of the shots.
