COLLIERVILLE, Tenn. (WMC) - More than a dozen people were shot at a Kroger grocery store in Collierville, Tennessee Thursday.
“It’s with a broken heart that I have to stand here before you today,” said Collierville Police Chief Dale Lane.
He gave his first update about two hours after the shooting, saying 12 victims were taken from the grocery store to nearby hospitals and one of those victims died. A 13th victim arrived by private vehicle, he said, adding that it was preliminary information and additional victims may be added to the total.
Within hours of the shooting, area hospitals reported treating at least 15 victims.
Regional One Hospital -- 9 patients with 4 in critical condition
Methodist University Hospital -- 2 patients: one rushed into surgery, the other stable
Baptist Memphis -- 2 patients in good condition
Baptist Collierville -- 1 patient now discharged
Saint Francis Hospital -- 1 patient in unknown condition
Police have not identified any of the victims.
Lane said the shooter is also dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The person’s identity has not been released and the chief would not confirm whether the shooter was an employee.
A current employee who was not working Thursday said one of his co-workers recognized the shooter as a Kroger employee. A family member of another employee also told Action News 5 the shooter was a Kroger employee.
Lane would also not say where the shooter’s body was found.
