A sheriff says one person is dead and a suspect was shot at a Walmart in the northern Mississippi city of Southaven.
DeSoto County Sheriff Bill Rasco told WHBQ-TV that one person was killed and the suspect was shot.
The shooting prompted a sizeable law enforcement response, with officers setting up a perimeter and entering the Walmart Supercenter.
According to a local Memphis reporter, “A Walmart employee tells me two of his co-workers were shot and killed this morning. He said the shooter worked there for 25 years before he was recently fired. A police officer and the shooter were also shot. Office expected to be okay.”
However, officials have not publicly confirmed these details.
A woman answering the phone at the Southaven Police Department Tuesday morning said “we have ongoing emergencies” and no one was available to provide information.
