One person was shot Friday at a Wal-Mart in North Carolina and authorities were trying  to find the suspected gunman.

Lumberton police officers responded to the big box retail store before 11:30 a.m. and reports of gun****** s inside. When officers arrived , the store was being evacuated, but they did not find the shooter or that anybody was injured.

Surveillance video shows  the shooter fleeing the store as it was being evacuated, police said.

Within a few minutes of being alerted to the shooting authorities were told someone with a gunshot wound arrived at the University of North Carolina Health Southeastern Hospital with a non-life threatening injury.

This appears to be a isolated incident between two individuals who are familiar  with each other," the police department. The suspect has been identified and investigators are attempting locate him at this time.

The shooting comes after a Wal-Mart employee killed six people inside a a Chesapeake, Virginia store, wounded several others and taking his own life.

A non profit threatening injury?

🙄

I wish people would proofread instead of spell check.

It was non-life threatening. Sometimes I don't catch when it does auto correct. It was not intentional but your comment was unnecessary.

Although I realize these shootings can and do happen anywhere, reading about the Wal-Marts lately, just gives me another reason to try and avoid that store.  😔

I didn’t see the post with the spelling error. @elated 

The comment was rude, and unnecessary, but more important very telling about her.

Most of us have misspelled a word.I can’t tell you how many times I have had to go back and edit a post that looked perfect when I hit send.

Misery loves company. Don't join her in her comfort zone.

I agree.  You can clearly tell what the content of the story is, so no one has to come in and read.  How silly is this?  It's downright dumb.....

Sometimes there are news stories I would not have known about if they hadn't been posted here. If I'm interested in the story I will search online for more details.
