No one else was wounded in the attack.

“Unfortunately, I am devastated to share that we lost five other members of our family in this tragic incident,” Molson Coors’s chief executive, Gavin Hattersley, said in a statement. “There are no words to express the deep sadness many of us are feeling right now.”

The gunman was also an employee, and killed himself after the attack.

The police said that the gunman was a 51-year-old Milwaukee man who was wearing his company uniform as he carried out the shooting. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, they said, but they did not disclose a motive or say what type of weapon he used.

Mr. Hattersley confirmed that the gunman was an employee.

The shooting began in the afternoon, and a lockdown lasted for hours.

People began calling in to the Police Department with reports of gunfire at about 2 p.m. Wednesday. As officers from several departments raced to the area, which is west of downtown, schools went on lockdown and residents were told to stay away.

The police continued to search the Molson Coors campus for hours after the shooting. Some workers remained stuck inside the complex late into the evening waiting for the police to finish their search and clear the workers to go home.

The brewery is an icon in Milwaukee.

State Senator LaTonya Johnson, a Democrat whose district includes the Molson Coors complex and its towering “Home of the High Life” sign, said the facility was a point of pride in Milwaukee. The company, still known to many in the area by its former name, MillerCoors, continued to invest in the city and pay competitive wages even when some other employers left. For $10, visitors could tour the complex, including its famous beer caves, and sample its beverages.
