At least one person shot and wounded at a Walmart in southern Indiana when a former employee opened fire inside the store, police say. The gunman was ultimately killed in a shootout with police.
. It was unknown how many people were inside the store at the time and how many of them were shot at, police said.
"Multiple times he was actually shooting at officers before they were actually able to shoot him," Sgt. Anna Gray of the Evansville Police Department said at a press conference late Thursday. "At this time, we don't believe there are any other suspects involved in this." "A lot of people were running out, so there could be more [victims] out there," Gray told reporters. "If someone was directly involved or injured during the incident, please either come back to the scene or call 911 and give us that information. We are looking for any other victims at this time."
"This is a tragic incident. We can't imagine what the witnesses and employees and customers inside went through," Officer Taylor Merriss of the Evansville Police Department said at a press conference early Friday. "But without the bravery and professionalism of our department, there could've been a lot more lives lost last night."The shooting remains under investigation.
