Newsman: Three people, including the suspected shooter, are dead following an attack Sunday night at a grocery store in Bend, Oregon, police said.
“Police believe the shooter continued firing through the store, shooting and killing an additional person,” the department said.
Shooting rounds from an AR-15-style rifle, the gunman was believed to have begun the attack in the store’s parking lot before moving inside, according to police. One person was shot inside the entrance, according to police. Medics took that victim to a hospital, but the person was declared deceased, police said.
It was not immediately clear how the suspected shooter, who was identified only as a male, died, but police said they did not open fire during their response.
Earlier, a spokesperson for St. Charles Bend medical center said the facility had received one patient from the attack who was dead on arrival. Another patient was said to be in good condition.
Officers were dispatched to the Safeway at the Forum Shopping Center shortly after 7 p.m. after receiving reports of shots fired, the Bend Police Department said in a statement.
