Durham Council Member Mark-Anthony Middleton was inside the Walmart at the time of the shooting, He shared updates on social media, writing the store was locked down, and police swept it with long-barreled weapons before customers were eventually directed out.
"Aside from any physical injuries we are certainly concerned about innocent people (particularly children) who have been utterly traumatized by this," Middleton added.
The Raleigh Police Department tweeted shortly after stating that an investigation is underway.
