Kaleb Friesen was shopping with his wife and son and didn't hear the gunfire but forgot his wallet in the car and had to walk outside and then saw all the cops
"When we lived in Goldsboro, every time we went to Walmart there was no difference, a daily thing now. He shouldn't have to see anybody get shot or even have to hear about someone getting shot."
Gary Robinson tells ABC11 he was inside standing at the pharmacy when it happened and heard the gunfire.
"I heard it but I didn't know where it was coming from and after that, I see people start running and they get on the floor. This is America but I don't like this situation with what these guys are doing here, too much guns and it shouldn't be like this."
The identity of the two men hasn't been released.
A senior manager with Walmart provided this statement to ABC11 about the incident: "The safety of our associates and customers is a top priority. We will work closely with local law enforcement through the course of their investigation and refer any additional questions to them."
