An hour after the alarm was raised officers said that the threat of gunfire has ended.
Aaron Stephens, 44, a customer at the store, said he was paying for groceries when he heard gunshots and the sound of ricocheting bullets.
"The employees started screaming and the customers started screaming. I ran out, too, because I didn't want to get shot," he said.
