One person has been killed and a dozen more injured in a shooting at a Kroger supermarket in Collierville, Tennessee, local law enforcement said. The gunman died at the scene from what officers believe was a self-inflicted wound.
Law enforcement told Fox 13 on Thursday that nine people were shot at the Kroger branch in Collierville, a town located on the outskirts of Memphis. The condition of the victims is unknown, and multiple ambulances and police vehicles were called to the scene. A gunman opened fire on Thursday at a Kroger branch in Collierville, a town located on the outskirts of Memphis. One person was shot dead, 12 were injured, and the suspect ended his rampage by apparently taking his own life. The shooting took place around 1.30pm local time.
The status of the perpetrator or perpetrators is also unclear, with police telling media that they were working to make the scene secure. No further information was given, although unconfirmed reports claim that radio communications among emergency services indicate that the shooter killed themselves inside the store. Police officers from multiple departments responded to the incident, and SWAT teams cleared the store “aisle to aisle, room to room,” Collierville Chief of Police Dale Lane told reporters. “I’ve been involved in this for 34 years and I’ve never seen anything like it,” Lane said, noting that some of the injuries were “very serious.”
DETAILS TO FOLLOW
Video footage showed several ambulances rushing to a local hospital, with at least one vehicle carrying multiple victims. Local reporter Stacy Jacobson said that her crew was instructed not to move their vehicle parked outside the hospital, as staff there were “preparing for helicopter landings.”
Collierville Schools went into lockdown as a precaution as the incident unfolded, with an alert sent to parents warning of an off-campus active shooter nearby. 
Police are questioning witnesses, and preparing to search the suspect’s vehicle, which is parked outside.
