At least one person was shot and wounded at a Walmart in southern Indiana on Thursday night when a former employee opened fire inside the store, police said.

The gunman was ultimately killed in a minuteslong shootout with police.

The incident unfolded just before 10 p.m. local time at the Walmart in the West Side neighborhood of Evansville, a riverside city about 180 miles southwest of Indianapolis. The suspect -- identified as 25-year-old Ronald Ray Mosley II -- allegedly walked into the store and began shooting, according to the Evansville Police Department.

Officers were quickly deployed to the scene and immediately entered the Walmart looking for the gunman, as people tried to hide or flee. It was unknown how many people were inside the store at the time and how many of them were shot at, police said.
