NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A Philadelphia jury awarded more than $38 million to the families of two women killed by a coworker at the old Kraft Food plant in Northeast Philadelphia.

It happened in September of 2010, when Yvonne Hiller carried a .357 Magnum into the factory and shot two women Hiller had argued with.

The lawsuit targeted US Securities, the firm that provided guards for the plant.

Testimony showed the unarmed security guards failed to warn employees that Hiller had a gun.

She's serving life in prison without parole.
