The alleged shooter entered the Walmart in Beavercreek around 8:30 p.m. and began shooting at those inside the store, according to the Beavercreek Police Department.

The shooter died from an “apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound,” according to the department.
“No responding police officers fired any shots,” the department wrote in a statement on X.
The building was cleared and secured and “there is no active threat.”

“At first I thought it was glass. I heard a couple of people running and screaming, so I ran out and we got to the Burger King parking lot,” an unidentified Walmart worker told the Dayton Daily News.
Walmart said they were “heartbroken” by what happened at their Beavercreek location.
