The authorities received a call just before 10 in the morning that gunfires were heard in the area southwest of Oklahoma City.
Walmart’s spokesman, Payton McCormick, told USA TODAY that no staff involved in the shooting. They added that there wasn’t any need to evacuate. “As this is an active police investigation, we are currently referring additional questions to law enforcement and assisting, however possible. This was an isolated incident in the parking lot. It was different from the active shooter situation,” he added.

A nursing home across Walmart was also informed, albeit there was nothing to worry about. Gregston said that “everything is in control.” This facility has 72 residents and locked down their property from their alert system.
