went inside the building, and fired randomly at the assembly lines, shooting several employees. According to one person who was shot but survived, Ford seemed to hesitate before firing. He then shot at Hesston Police Chief Doug Schroeder, the first officer to respond to the scene, and Schroeder fired back. Ford was struck by bullets and died at 5:23 p.m.

== Aftermath ==

4 People died and 14 were injuring in the shooting, all 4 dying in the Excel Industries.

A day after the shooting, Ford's 28-year-old ex-girlfriend Sarah Jo Hopkins was arrested for illegally providing him with the firearms used in the shootings. Hopkins pleaded guilty to not alerting authorities that a convicted felon unlawfully possessed firearms and was sentenced to a year on supervised release.

Immediately after the shooting, the Excel Industries factory was closed down. It reopened on March 10, two weeks after the shooting.

U.S president Barack Obama spoke by phone to Hesston Mayor David Kauffman to give his condolences to the victims and his thanks to the first responders.

On May 25, three months after the shootings, several people gathered along U.S. Route 81 for a memorial dedicated to the victims and those affected.

On June 8, an autopsy on Ford's body indicated high levels of methamphetamine and alcohol in his system.
