At least 3 killed at Duncan Oklahoma Walmart shooting
Duncan OK Nov 19 2019
At least three people were shot to death Monday at a Walmart in Duncan, Oklahoma, according to multiple media reports.
The Duncan School system went on immediate lock-down.
A dispatcher for Duncan police said that officers were on the scene of an “incident” at the store.
The Duncan Banner, citing police, reported that three people were dead, including the gunman. Schools in the city were on lockdown, the media outlet reported.
At the Ace Hardware store about a block south of the Walmart in Duncan, cashier Austyn Fenwick said the store was notified of the incident but is carrying on business as usual.
“We’re not on lockdown or anything, but we were told to be on the lookout for someone in black clothing,” Fenwick said in phone interview. “We have customers in the store, so we are all right.”
Duncan is a city of about 25,000 people in Stephens County, about 80 miles south of Oklahoma City.
The shooting took place just days after the reopening of a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, that had been the scene of a mass shooting Aug. 3. That attack left 22 people dead in the parking lot and inside the Cielo Vista Supercenter.
