At least one person was killed and another was injured in a shooting at a Fred Meyer grocery store in Washington on Monday afternoon, police said. The suspect, identified by police as a White man, is still on the run and is believed to be armed with a handgun.
Officers first responded to the Richland grocery store at 11:04 a.m. local time after receiving reports that shots had been fired, police said at a press conference. It's not yet clear if any of the victims were targeted.
Local schools including Richland High and River's Edge High were placed on non-critical lockdown during the police response.

In the past year, over 135 million passengers traveled to the U.S. from other countries. To infectious disease experts, that represents 135 million chances for an outbreak to begin. To identify and stop the next potential pandemic, government disease detectives have been discreetly searching for viral pathogens in wastewater from airplanes. Experts are worried that these efforts may not be enough.
