Edit: Gumman caught:
"Multiple people were shot on Wednesday inside a Walmart in a Denver suburb, local police said.
Police in Thornton, Colorado, did not release any information about any of the victims and it was not clear if an assailant had been taken into custody. Thornton is about 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Denver.
"We've got multiple parties down, we're still trying to ascertain what their conditions are," Officer Victor Avila of the Thornton Police Department told Reuters.
The store had been "self-evacuated" by customers and employees who fled following the gunfire, Avila said.
Police later said on Twitter that it was no longer an active shooter situation, but there was an active crime scene.
Reports of shots fired came shortly before 6:30 p.m. Mountain Time, a police spokesman told local 9NEWS in Denver.
An hour after the incident, the situation, the nature of the incident or status of the threat remained unclear, he said.
Local television images showed a number of police cars and ambulances surrounding the store, lights flashing.
Local media reported that one person was shot and killed, while another was badly wounded.
Police were reported to be looking for two suspects.
One employee, who was not identified, told local media he heard at least five or six shots.
"I started to hear loud pops, and it kept going. Everybody got down, everybody was screaming..." he said.
Local NBC affiliate 9NEWS reported that a woman whose son was in Walmart had told her that he had heard about 30 gunshots and was still inside.
A video posted on Twitter showed the store apparently empty except for police officers with guns drawn."
