Three of the wounded were hospitalized in critical condition, including two who were in surgery with life-threatening injuries.
The victims suffered multiple gunshot wounds that were consistent with shotgun blasts, Dr. Michael Nitzken of Wellstar Kennestone Hospital told reporters at a news conference.
The gunman, who was found dead inside the facility, worked for FedEx as a package handler, Cobb County police Sgt. Dana Pierce said.
David Titus, a FedEx truck driver, said he was just coming to work around 6 a.m. when he saw someone walk up and shoot a security guard in the abdomen outside the building. He said he could hear more gunshots after the gunman went inside.
