A shooting at a Walmart distribution center in US's Red Bluff, California, left at least two people dead and several injured late on Saturday, officials said.
The incident started around 3:30 pm Pacific Time, according to the office of the local sheriff.
The shooter killed an employee before police officers shot and killed the attacker, Reuters reported.
Tehama County’s assistant sheriff said the attacker circled the center’s parking lot four times before crashing his vehicle into the building and opening fire with a semi-automatic rifle.
The authorities identified the employee as Martin Haro-Lozano, 45, of Orland, California.
“We are deeply saddened by this tragic incident”, Walmart said in a statement.
“This is an active police investigation and we will continue to work with Tehama County Sheriff’s Office and assist in their investigation in any way possible”, it added.
