I'LL LET YOU KNOW.
>> THANK YOU, BRIAN. THE POLICE
IN LUMBERTON ARE INVESTIGATING
A DEADLY SHOOTING INSIDE A
WALMART. A WOMAN WAS SHOT LATE
THIS AFTERNOON. THE STORE HAS
BEEN CLOSED FOR HOURS. REALLY.
DANLEY WAS ON THE SCENE IN
LUMBERTON AND HAS THE STORY.
>> JUST DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
A WALMART PARKING LOT THAT
WOULD NORMALLY BE BUSY WITH
HOLIDAY SHOPPERS IS EMPTIED
THE SHOOTING HAPPENED JUST
BEYOND THOSE DOORS. I SPOKE TO
PEOPLE IN THIS AREA AND THEY
TELL ME THAT IT'S SHOCKING AND
HEARTBREAKING TO HEAR THAT A
WOMAN LOST HER LIFE JUST DAYS
BEFORE THE HOLIDAY.
>> AROUND 3.45, MULTIPLE LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES RESPONDED
TO A SHOOTING AT A WALMART ON
FAYETTEVILLE ROAD IN LUMBERTON.
WHEN OFFICERS ARRIVED, THEY
FOUND 42 YEAR-OLD BRANDY OLSON
SUFFERING FROM AT LEAST ONE
GUNSHOT WOUND. ACCORDING TO
A TOWN COUNCIL MEMBER FOR
POLICE RADIO TRAFFIC. THIS IS
WHAT OFFICERS SAW WHEN THEY
ARRIVE.
>> CALO THAT BY EMPLOYING A
BANK AT WALMART OF THE ART OF
TIME.
>> 24 COURAGE. TO LIVE IN A
SHED OR A.
>> AND FOR THE POOR PAY OPEN IT
UP AND WELL.
>> CAMPELL 24 ALL OVER KING
UNIT AND 25 WALMART WITNESSES
ATTEMPTED TO PERFORM FIRST AID
BUT THE WOMAN LATER DIED FROM
HER INJURIES AT A HOSPITAL.
MANY PEOPLE TOOK TO SOCIAL
MEDIA TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCE
FROM INSIDE THE STORE ONE
PERSON WRITING THERE WAS A
SHOOTING AT A WALMART IN
LUMBERTON. WE HAD TO RUN OUT
THE BACK OF THE STORE. CRAZY
PART. IT WAS OVER $5 SO
THANKFUL WE DIDN'T HAVE THE
KIDS. ANOTHER PERSON SAYING
IN PART I WAS WORKING IN THE
SALON. BUT ME AND MY STYLIST
ARE OKAY. GOD BLESS OUR
EMERGENCY EXIT DOOR THAT WE
NEVER THOUGHT WE'D HAVE TO USE.
AND THIS ISN'T THE FIRST
INCIDENT AT THE SUPER STORM
BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2022, A MAN
WAS ARRESTED AFTER FIRING SHOTS
IN THE STORE ON BLACK FRIDAY.
I SPOKE TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO
CAME TO WALMART FOR HOLIDAY
SHOPPING. CRUZ TELLS ME HE'S
LUCKY HIS FAMILY WAS INSIDE
WHEN THE GUNFIRE ERUPTED SAID
IT LIKE SPECIALLY WHAT AS RIGHT
SLIDE. THAT WOULD BE ONE OF
THE FAMILIES.
