SALT LAKE CITY — Police identified the two men who were involved in a workplace shooting Sunday afternoon in Salt Lake City, saying they believe one man shot his coworker before taking his own life.

The man killed in the shooting was 61-year-old Hay Ly, while the shooter, who was also found deceased, was identified as 56-year-old Miller Bin.

FOX 13 News previously reported the shooting happened Sunday afternoon at Varex Imaging, located at 1678 S. Pioneer Road. When officers arrived, they found Ly deceased inside the business and Bin deceased outside in the parking lot.

"Based on the preliminary information, detectives believe Bin, an employee of the business, shot Ly inside," Salt Lake City Police stated. "After the initial shooting, Bin shot and killed himself in a parking lot on the company’s property."

A gun was recovered near Bin's body and officers did a sweep through the area to ensure there were no other victims.

Now, an investigation is underway to determine the motive behind the shooting. Officials said the company where the incident happened is being cooperative.
