GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Two people, including the gunman, died and another person was injured in a shooting early Tuesday at a Walmart Supercenter store in Grand Forks, North Dakota, police said.

The shooter was the only person with a gun, and no police officers fired a weapon, according to Lt. Derik Zimmel.

“We do not believe there is any further risk to the public,” Zimmel said. He would not go as far as to say the gunman shot himself and provided no details of what led to the shooter’s death.
