"The first arriving officers went into the building, confronted the suspect and shot him dead," Schmaderer said during a media briefing.No one else was hurt, even though there is evidence, from shell casings, that the suspect, described as a white male in his 30s, fired inside the store.Two sweeps inside the store were conducted to make sure there were no victims.
