EVANSVILLE, Ind. — A gunman shot at police as he weaved through the aisles of an Indiana Walmart before officers shot and killed him late Thursday, authorities said. The gunman, who was not immediately identified, wounded at least one other person in the store, Evansville Police Department Sgt. Anna Gray. The victim was transported to an area hospital and the severity of their injuries was not immediately known. No officers were wounded, she said. Evansville police and Vanderburgh County sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of an active shooter in the store at around 10 p.m. “When officers went in, they were trying to locate the suspect and he was all over the store. He would shoot at officers and move. So it wasn’t contained to just one area inside,” Gray said. Multiple law enforcement members returned fire during the encounter and the gunman was killed, Gray said.“At this time we don’t know how many other people he shot at,” Gray said, adding that there could could be additional victims who fled. Authorities asked anyone who left the scene with injuries, no matter how small, to contact emergency medical services, WFIE reported. A Walmart representative did not immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press seeking additional information.
