The shooting took place around 7pm on the 2600 block of MacArthur Road in Whitehall Township.
According to police, two people were shot dead while outside the store.
Witnesses at the scene said the incident happened very suddenly.
‘As I walk in, I hear like a’ tree, tree ‘. “I thought it was a car exhaust or something,” said Qusai Muhasen of New Jersey.
It appears that the Walmart was never closed, despite the large police presence.
“When we arrived at the parking lot, we saw one of the Whitehall police cars with the main entrance flying up near TJ Maxx and then on its way to Walmart,” said Scott Dias of Upper Macungie. “Within seconds, we saw more than five or six police cars arrive.”
There is no word on the condition of the victims who are shooting.
Police did not release any details about a suspect or motive.
