"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."

Why shoot up a Wal - Mart? It's hell enough just doing simple shopping there (same with Target, honestly...).
Seriously, though - my condolences go out to the victims of both THAT and especially being shot (at) by the a-hole responsible.

Furthermore, I really hope no one is stupid enough to equate this to terrorism - this is just another sicko we need to throw the book at!
 
My guess is a former employee or someone connected to the people who were shot (husband/wife/etc.). There was that one shooting at a Macy’s where it turned out to be a guy who shot his estranged wife and her grandmother.
 
It was a FUCKING WHITE MALE, as per Colorado tradition. 47-year-old Scott Ostrem, driving a damn near brand spanking new Mitsubishi. I can't find anything about the guy. Just a bunch of references to some poor bastard in California who designs space craft and shares his name.

Since's he's nearly fifty, I'm placing my bets it was a botched robbery.

Niggers don't do mass shootings because it requires the teeny-tinyest bit of forethought and planning

How many niggers does it take to commit a spree shooting?

As many as you can fit into a car.

So, has the left used this shooting spree to drag away attention from what happened in NY yet?
 
I didn't know the IRA was in Colorado.

Ban all guns NOW
But if we ban guns people will just have to use trucks, and as you know not everybody has a drivers license. Please don't discriminate against people who can't drive.
