WESTVILLE, Ill. (AP) — A longtime eastern Illinois chemical plant employee shot his company's CEO during a performance evaluation, before committing suicide when he turned a handgun on himself.

Vermilion County Sheriff Pat Hartshorn says the shooting at DynaChem Inc. took place Thursday afternoon.

Hartshorn says DynaChem president and CEO Keith Rife was hospitalized for gunshot wounds to his head and hip. His injuries aren't considered life-threatening.
