Gunman in deadly Tennessee grocery shooting was a third-party vendor, police say
Quote:
A gunman who killed a woman and wounded at least 14 other people at a western Tennessee Kroger before apparently killing himself this week was a third-party vendor for the store, police said Friday.
UK Thang, 29, was the man who shot 10 employees and five customers Thursday afternoon at the Kroger in Collierville, some 30 miles southeast of downtown Memphis, police said.
Investigators are still trying to determine a motive, Collierville Police Chief Dale Lane said at a news conference Friday morning.
The woman who died was Olivia King, Lane said Friday. She was a customer, according to Kroger.
The incident was one of at least 517 mass shootings in the United States so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. CNN and the GVA identify a mass shooting as a shooting that injured or killed four or more people, not including the shooter.
