The suspect in a deadly shooting at a California Walmart distribution center had been fired in 2019, authorities say.
Johnston said later in the evening that the suspect and one victim, an employee, were dead.
Red Bluff police engaged in gunfire with the suspect shortly after, and he underwent surgery for a gunshot wound, Johnston said.Chief Kyle Sanders said the officers fired after the suspect first fired at them"multiple times." The two officers who fired the shots are on paid administrative leave pending a routine investigation into the shooting of the suspect, Sanders said.
Scott Thammakhanty, an employee at the facility's receiving center who unloads trucks, said he heard the shooter fire from what he judged to be a semi-automatic weapon. Thammakhanty and others started running for their lives, and he saw people lying on the ground as he went, he said.Vince Krick was waiting outside because his wife and son work at the facility. They weren't hurt, but Krick was anxiously waiting to be reunited with them.Krick was on the way to pick up his wife when he saw the flames, he said. His wife texted that she was OK, but told him not to come to the front entrance.
