Two of three suspects taken into custody Wednesday after a shooting at a Tennessee Walmart have been charged, according to sources.
No victims were reported, and a third man was let go after officials determined he was not involved.
Police charged 65-year-old Pedro Salisipan Ngayan with two counts of aggravated assault, and 22-year-old Dashawn Leon Bonner of Pensacola, Florida, with one count of misdemeanor assault.
The shooting happened Wednesday afternoon at a Walmart in Sevierville, Tennessee, according to police. An argument erupted inside the store and several guns were brandished, sending customers ducking for cover, WBIR Channel 10 reported.
During the fight, Bonner allegedly pushed the older man down and that’s when Ngayan pulled a handgun, WBIR reports.
At least one of the three suspects was armed after the incident, according to reporter Curtis Carden.
One shot was fired inside the store, according to reporter Madisen Keavy, citing a police spokesman.
Following a search of the building, the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office cleared the scene, saying there was no ongoing danger.
There are no known victims, the police spokesman said, according to reporter Summer Dashe.
Twenty to 30 people fled to a nearby Chick-fil-A, according to reporter Amanda Hara.
A fight prompted the incident at the Walmart, according to news outlet WVLT.
Here is some video that a woman recorded after leaving the store, according to CGTN America.
In another incident in the South, two people are in custody and no shots were fired after a report of an active shooter at the Lakeside Shopping Center in Metairie, Louisiana, according to reporter Scott Walker.
