AP: A shooting at a supermarket in northern Indiana, US, killed two people and injured two police officers on Monday, the Elkhart Police Department said.
Officers were dispatched to the scene after receiving a call about the shooting, spokesperson for the department Jessica McBrier told reporters.
“When police arrived, they found two victims who had been shot and killed inside the store,” he said.
Officers confronted the suspect outside the Martin’s Supermarket in Elkhart, resulting in an exchange of fire. “The suspect was shot and killed,” McBrier added.
During the exchange of fire, the two officers involved in the shooting were wounded and taken to a local hospital. “They are in stable condition,” she said.
