Colorado shooting: Three dead after lone gunman fired at Thornton Walmart supermarket
Thornton, Nov 2 (IBNS) A day after the New York attack which left eight dead, three persons, including a woman, were killed in a shooting inside a suburban Denver Walmart in Colorado on Wednesday night, reports said.
"Shooting just occurred at Walmart, 9900 Grant St, multiple parties down. Please stay away from the area," Thornton Police Department said in an earlier tweet.
Dozens of police cruisers and emergency vehicles raced to the scene.
The men died at the store, and the woman died at a hospital.
Reports quoted police spokesman Victor Avila as saying that a man nonchalantly walked into the the store and fired a handgun into a group of people before fleeing in a car. No one has been arrested.
According to authorities, the wanted suspect is a white man who wore a black jacket, maroon shirt, and blue jeans
"This is a very heinous act," Avila said. "We don't know exactly what the motive of the person was, but it was certainly a terrible act."
The spokesman said there is currently no indication that the shooting was an act of terror.
Earlier on Wednesday, a man in rented pickup truck drove onto a busy bicycle path near the World Trade Centre memorial, killing at least eight people and injuring several others in what the mayor called “a particularly cowardly act of terror.”
