The shooting occurred at a Walmart Supercenter in Berea, South Carolina, located about five miles from downtown Greenville.

WYFF-TV reports that Berea fire officials responded to reports of a shooting at the Walmart, and the Greenville County Coroner's office confirmed that they had responded to at least one death at the scene.

The Greenville News , citing senior county deputy coroner Jeff Fowler, also confirmed at least one person was killed in the incident.
