An Arkansas grocery store where four people were killed in a mass shooting has reopened, and community leaders call it an important step in the community's healing process. The Mad Butcher grocery reopened Tuesday, 11 days after the mass shooting in the Arkansas town of Fordyce.

Shoppers enter the Mad Butcher grocery store in Fordyce, Arkansas on Tuesday, July 2, 2024. The grocery store reopened on Tuesday, 11 days after a mass shooting that killed four. A stack of shirts being handed out to customers sits in a shopping cart at the Mad Butcher grocery store in Fordyce, Ark., Tuesday, July 2, 2024. The grocery store reopened on Tuesday, 11 days after a shooter killed four people and injured 10 others in in the store and its parking lot.

“This is Fordyce,” said Dick Rinehart, a mechanic who went to the store Tuesday to buy ribs, bread and lunchmeat. “Without this grocery store, where would we go?” Kent J. Broughton, a pastor in Fordyce who was loading up his cart with watermelons, said the store’s reopening restores a place for many in the community to connect with family or friends.

Police have said Posey was armed with a handgun and a shotgun, and multiple gunshot victims were found in the store and its parking lot. Authorities have said Posey did not appear to have a personal connection to any of the victims.
