BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (WLS) -- The man accused of shooting three co-workers and killing one of them at the WeatherTech warehouse in Bolingbrook Saturday is being held on $5 million bond.
Charles McKnight, 27, has been charged with first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder, according to officials.
McKnight had been working with a temporary employment agency and had only been assigned to the WeatherTech facility since June 9.
