An 18-year-old man shot a 20-year-old female Walmart employee in Hammond, Indiana, Monday in an incident police described as domestic, co-host Amy Jacobson said on AM 560 WIND Chicago.
Jacobson said the shooting happened about an hour before she reported it on air, at a Walmart store near the Illinois border that draws shoppers from the Chicago area.
“An 18-year-old male shot a 20-year-old female employee,” Jacobson said. “They said it was domestic, but he fired several rounds, and people were screaming and running for the exits. It was just mayhem.”
The extent of the victim’s injuries was not disclosed on air. Jacobson said shoppers fled the store as multiple shots were fired.
“Our condolences go out to that woman’s family and people that were in the Walmart that saw that horrific shooting,” Jacobson said.
No further details about the suspect’s custody status or specific charges were reported on the broadcast.
