<span id="midArticle_start"/>Two people were killed and one wounded in a shooting early on Tuesday at a Walmart store (WMT.N) in Grand Forks, North Dakota, that involved a U.S. airman from the Grand Forks Air Force base, authorities said.
<span id="midArticle_0"/>The airman's role was not clear and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations was working with Grand Forks police, the Air Force said.
<span id="midArticle_1"/>The shooter is believed to be among the dead and there appeared to be no continuing threat to the public, Grand Forks Police Lieutenant Derik Zimmel said.
<span id="midArticle_2"/>The third person was hospitalized in satisfactory condition in Grand Forks after the shooting, Altru Health System said in a statement.
<span id="midArticle_3"/> <span class="first-article-divide"/>The store is open 24 hours a day and police found multiple victims when they responded to a report of gunshots, Zimmel said. The store was closed on Tuesday morning and likely to remain closed for some time, he said.
<span id="midArticle_4"/>Zimmel said police hoped to release the relationship the people have to the community and their role in the shooting later on Tuesday along with their names.
<span id="midArticle_5"/> <span class="second-article-divide"/>One witness who spoke with WDAZ television said he heard "popping sounds" in the store and, when he left the building later, he saw a Walmart employee covered in blood.
<span id="midArticle_6"/> <span class="third-article-divide"/>"We are deeply saddened about this situation and our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families," Walmart said in a statement.
