Terrified shoppers and employees fled for safety when a gunman entered a Safeway supermarket in Bend, Oregon, "spraying shots" from an assault rifle, killing two people, police said.

Police officers found the gunman, whose name has not been released, dead "in close proximity" to an AR-15-style weapon. On Monday morning, the Forum Shopping Center remained closed as law enforcement officials continued their investigation. The shooter fired shots in the shopping center's parking lot at about 7:04 p.m., and multiple people called 911, the chief said. Krantz, the police chief, said the shooter shot one person in the store's entrance. That person was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. The shooter continued firing inside the store, fatally shooting another person.
