Police responded to the Walmart store in Grand Forks, North Dakota around 1 am on Tuesday. Lieutenant Derik Zimmel said the shooter was the only one who had a gun and that officers did not fire a shot, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Lt Zimmel said that one other person had been taken to the hospital with injuries, though they are not life-threatening. Police continue to investigate the shooting.
The names of the people involved have not been released, though the Grand Forks Air Force Base released a statement saying an airman was involved but did not elaborate.
After officers responded to the shooting, a SWAT team arrived and secured a car in the parking lot, using a robot to search the vehicle, local media reported.
