A man with an AR-15-style rifle and a shotgun entered a Safeway supermarket in Bend, Oregon, on Sunday night and opened fire as he “walked aisle to aisle” spraying bullets, killing two people, police said.
The person believed to be the shooter was later found dead near the weapons inside the Safeway at The Forum Shopping Center. It was unclear if he died of a self-inflicted gunshot or if an armed shopper took him down, officials said. Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz said at a press conference late Sunday that it’s believed the gunman entered from a residential area behind the shopping center.
Authorities said they did not fire during the incident. The identity of and further details about the shooter or the victims were not immediately released, and the scene was still an active investigation, police said.
