SOUTHAVEN — A gunman described as a disgruntled Walmart employee fatally shot two co-workers and wounded a police officer before he was shot and arrested Tuesday at a Walmart store in northern Mississippi, authorities said.
Southaven Mayor Darren Musselwhite described the suspect as a disgruntled worker with a grievance against his employer. Nicholas Gales said the other slain worker was his brother, Brandon Gales. Jones called Brandon Gales his best friend, and described him as a father of four. Odom said he ran out into the parking lot and later spoke by phone with his cousin, who told him one of the victims was an employee, and the gunman worked there as well.
Officers kept working to clear the store hours after the shooting, Moore said, in part because they found a suspicious package and called a bomb squad.
