It had also been reported that one suspect has been detained by police.

No word on if they are seeking the second gunman that the EMT witness mentioned, but its' also possible that the second gunman was acting in self-defense.

Per the EMT's account, the body found outside the store belonged to the woman he attempted to help.

At this time, there does not appear to be any word on the identity of either of the victims.

Kroger has since responded to the shooting, releasing a statement shorty after it was reported by news outlets.

"We are shocked and saddened by the shooting incident that occurred around 2:30 p.m. today," Kroger's statement said. "Thanks to the quick response of the local police department, the suspect was apprehended and our store is now secure."
