The shooting happened in the produce section of the store.
The shooter was taken into custody.
Police have not released any more details on the incident.
Just to clarify a training excercise was happening with the North Mecklenburg Swat and Negotiations team at Lake Norman Charter School when a shooting occurred up the street at WalMart in Huntersville. The two incidents are unrelated.
