Gunman, 1 other, killed in North Dakota Wal-Mart shooting


GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — Two people, including the gunman, died and another person was injured in a shooting early today at a Wal-Mart Supercenter store in Grand Forks, North Dakota, police said.

Police did not provide information about the gunman or victims. Grand Forks Air Force Base issued a statement saying an airman was involved in the shooting, but did not elaborate.

The shooter was the only person with a gun, and no police officers fired a weapon, according to Lt. Derik Zimmel.

"We do not believe there is any further risk to the public," Zimmel said. He would not go as far as to say the gunman shot himself and provided no details of what led to the shooter's death.

One other person was taken to a hospital with gunshot wounds that were not believed to be life-threatening, Zimmel said. Altru Hospital in Grand Forks said in a statement that person was listed in "satisfactory condition" at midmorning.

Officers responded to reports of gunshots a few minutes after 1 a.m.
