Shooting at the grocery store leaves 2 dead; suspect in custody
A policeman suspected he shot a man and a woman at a Kroger grocery store outside of Louisville, Ky., And then exchanged fire with an armed passer-by before fleeing the scene, police said. He was captured shortly after.
Both victims died in the store, said Jeffersontown Police Chief Sam Rogers. He did not say whether the police had determined a motive in Wednesday's shooting. Nor did he identify the suspect.
The police received a call around 3 p.m. Reporting the shooting, said Rogers. He said the suspect fired several shots at the man inside the store and shot the victim several times in the parking lot. A citizen armed with a gun fired the shooter in the parking lot, but the suspect was able to flee before being caught on a nearby highway, Rogers said.
Eric Deacon, who identified himself as an EMT, told The Associated Press he was in the store's self-service lane when he heard the first shot at the pharmacy.
He said a man came around the corner and "the expression on his face did not seem to matter."
Deacon said he saw another man in the store with a gun that appeared to be firing at the suspect, trying to get him out of the store. Deacon went out and saw a woman in the mid-50s or early '60s who had been beaten, and tried to resuscitate her.
"She left, there's nothing I can do," Deacon said. "I think she just got caught in the crossfire."
While the cops invaded the scene and blocked the area with a yellow crime tape, a man identified by the Louisville Courier Journal as Tim King was standing in the parking lot waiting for his wife to come out. He said he went to the store after she called him sobbing to tell him what happened.
"I said, 'What's wrong?'" King said in a video posted on the newspaper's website. "And she said: 'There's someone shooting here.'
King said his wife said he heard pop noises, then someone ran around a corner and said, "Oh, my God, he killed her."
The customers were moved to the back of the store, he said.
"It's just a very, very scary situation," King said.
Kroger Co. issued a statement saying that company officials were "shocked and saddened by the shooting."
"Thanks to the rapid response of the local police department, the suspect was arrested and our store is safe."
The store was closed and will not be reopened until the investigation is complete, according to the statement.
