IRWINDALE, Calif. (KTLA) -- Employees at a Southern California Edison facility in Irwindale were back at work Tuesday for the first time since a deadly workplace shooting.
Grief counselors will be available to the 1,050 employees who work at the complex, an Edison spokesperson said.
Security will also be beefed up at the site.
Parts of the building where the shooting happened will remain closed as the investigation continues.
Police say 48-year-old Norco resident Andre Turner shot and killed Robert Lindsay, 53, of Chino, and Henry Serrano, 56, of Walnut before turning the gun on himself Friday afternoon.
SCE employee Angela Alvarez, 46, from Glendale, and contractor Abhay Pimpale, 38, of Montebello, were wounded in the shooting.
Pimpale has been released from the hospital and Alvarez's condition was upgraded from critical to serious.
Alvarez was shot six times, and went through four hours of surgery.
Authorities have released the 911 calls made during the shooting.
Officials received a call from a security guard at 1:33 p.m. Friday reporting an armed man inside a building located at 4900 Rivergrade Road, just off the 605 Freeway, Irwindale Police Chief Dennis Smith said.
In the call, the security guard calmly tells a dispatcher that someone arrived at the SCE office and began shooting.
At the time he made the call, the guard did not know who the shooter was.

Another callers asks, "Hi, do you have anything going on Rivergrade at Brooks?"
"We do. It's an active shooter," the Irwindale police dispatcher responds.
Witnesses said Turner, who armed with a semi-automatic handgun, calculated his fire.
"He told people to leave and he was very deliberate about who he shot," said one employee. "He did not like management."
Turner was an employee at the Rivergrade facility, which houses employees who primarily work in Information Technology.
Sheriff's officials said Monday that a supervisor had recently reprimanded Turner for missing an audit deadline, a minor incident.
Authorities would not discuss that detail at a press conference on Monday.
SoCal Edison insists there were no looming layoffs.
However, Turner was under water on his Norco home, which had just been put up for short sale last month.
Turner's wife, Jean Turner, released a short prepared statement Sunday morning.
"We are in shock and still trying to process this tragic event," she wrote. "Our hearts and prayers go out to all the victims and their families."
On Sunday, hundreds of employees gathered to remember the victims of Friday's shooting.
The event, which was organized by the friends and families of the victims, was held outside the office building.
Lois Pitter Bruce, a spokeswoman for Southern California Edison said as many as 250 people attended the memorial.
"Employees gathered to share their love and concern, lots of hugs and tears," Bruce said. "We're like a family, we're all grieving."
"No matter how much you explain it, you can't understand it."
SoCal Edison has said it will provide grief counselors for any employees who need them.
