00:00Tonight with breaking news, a shooting at a busy Walmart caused shoppers to flee the scene and the store to
00:06close much of the day today.
00:08Joe Allgood is live for us in Midtown Anchorage and Joe, I understand the Walmart is back open tonight.
00:15That's right, Rebecca, the Walmart in Midtown Anchorage is open again after a man was shot here earlier this afternoon.
00:22Anchorage police say he was transported to the hospital but have not released any details about his physical conditions.
00:28Now we're going to show you some photos from the scene and I'd like to warn you, some viewers may
00:33find these disturbing.
00:35These photos came from an eyewitness who didn't want to appear on camera, but I'd like to read you an
00:41account from their point of view.
00:44I checked out and went to the bathroom and 20 seconds later I heard four gunshots.
00:49I was kind of shook up a little bit so I just stayed in there and stood on the toilet
00:53for a couple minutes.
00:54I walked out of the bathroom, I saw the guy laying on the ground, people running and screaming everywhere.
01:01Police say they have apprehended a suspect and there is no active threat at this time, but they have not
01:07released the identities of either the shooter or the victim.
01:10Again, no word on the medical condition of the man who was shot, but police say he sustained a gunshot
01:16wound to the upper body.
01:18Joe Allgood, Alaska's News Source, back to you in the studio.
01:20All right, Joe and Mitch.
