MILWAUKEE, Wis. (SPECTRUM NEWS) -- Some of the first people on the scene Wednesday after police say 51-year-old Anthony Ferrill shot-and-killed five co-workers before killing himself at Milwaukee's legendary Miller Brewery were part of a psychiatric crisis team, ready to be there for the survivors and the victims' families.

"You just begin to talk with them about the [shooting]," Lawrence Thomas, a Psychiatric Crisis Worker with the Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Department, told Spectrum News 1. "[You] ask them how they're doing, reassuring them of their emotions and the feelings that they're going through-- it's normal and typical for a person who's experienced trauma."

Thomas, along with fellow Psychiatric Crisis Worker Theresa Barnett, spent roughly 8 hours on-site Wednesday helping Molson Coors employees cope with the tragedy.

Barnett says anyone who knows any of the factory workers or anyone impacted by this week's tragedy should be ready to reach out.

"I think what's going to be important is that people are talking, people are with loved ones-- with friends, with family members, people that they trust," Barnett said. "If there is a change in behavior, [someone] should say, "I'm worried about you. How are you doing? Can we talk?!" [Open] that door to make sure they're feeling supported."
