May the victims Rest In Peace. My thoughts and prayers are with all the victims, their loved ones and all the staff and customers in the store.

Sounds like a workplace shooting rather than terrorism, though workplace shootings are terrifying and tragic.

I worked at this Walmart for three years as a "demo lady" until the pandemic. I loved the people that worked there and the customers. That break room is huge, with one way in and out, they were sitting ducks in there.

The alleged shooter has been named, but not officially. So I'm choosing to not post the link.
