Indiana police kill shooter in Walmart, one person wounded

EVANSVILLE, INDIANA (AP) – A gunman fired shots at police as he weaved through the aisles of an Indiana Walmart before being killed by law enforcement, authorities said.

At least one person in the store was wounded on Thursday night by the shooter, who was not immediately identified, Evansville Police Department Sergeant Anna Gray told WFIE-TV.

The victim was transported to a hospital and the severity of their injuries was not immediately known.

No officers were injured, Gray said.

The victim appeared to be a Walmart employee, as a company statement said, “The entire Walmart family is shocked by the senseless violence that occurred at our Evansville store, and our hearts are with our associate at this time,” the broadcaster reported.

“As we learn more, we’ll do everything we can to support our associates as they cope with
this tragedy.”
