Multiple people killed during shooting at Kentucky Kroger grocery store – By Kate Feldman (nydailynews.com) / Oct 24 2018
Two people are dead and a suspect is in custody after a shooting at a Louisville, Kentucky, Kroger Wednesday.
Police told WLKY that a man entered the Jeffersontown store around 3 p.m. and shot another man several times, then went back into the parking lot and shot a woman several times as well.
Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene, Police Chief Sam Rogers said.
“Once they got the gentleman on the ground, I hollered at them and said, ‘Look, I’m an EMT. Let me get out here and try to help this woman,’” witness Eric Deacon told the station. “So that’s when I went, ran over, I get down. I’m getting ready to start CPR on her, and when I looked at her, I knew she was gone. There was nothing I could do.”
The suspect took off in his car but was captured by police shortly after.
“We are shocked and saddened by the shooting incident that occurred around 2:30 p.m. today,” a spokeswoman for Kroger said in a statement. “Thanks to the quick response of the local police department, the suspect was apprehended and our store is secure. We are cooperating with law enforcement and assisting with their investigation. Our store is closed and will reopen after the investigation concludes.”
A motive for the shooting is still unclear.
