Police responded to the shooting around 8:55 a.m., San Francisco Police Assistant Chief Toney Chaplin said in a news conference Wednesday.
The UPS facility is located near 17th Street and San Bruno Avenue, ABC San Francisco affiliate KGO reported.
When police arrived, they determined that the suspect was inside the building and began evacuations, Chaplin said.
An officer then located the suspect, who put the gun to his head and shot himself, according to Chaplin.
Police note that no officers fired a weapon in responding to the call.
Two firearms were recovered at the scene, Chaplin said. It is unclear if any of the victims were targeted, but Chaplin said he does not believe the case to be linked to terrorism. A motive has not yet been determined.
Police have not released the identities of the victims. The suspect was dressed in a UPS uniform, but police have not confirmed that he is a UPS employee, Chaplin said.
Investigators are interviewing "dozens and dozens" of witnesses who were inside of the building, Chaplin said. Several people who were on site at the time of the shooting are not UPS employees, he added.
