The first local media reports reported that at least one person was injured inside the place. But Dennis Morris, chief of the Benton County Coroner’s Department, told CNN that he had been notified of at least one person dead at the supermarket.

At least one injured person was sent to the hospital, added the Richland Police, who asked on their Twitter account for the public’s help in locating the suspect or establishing his identity. The ad is accompanied by a photo showing a white man wearing a black mask pushing a grocery cart.

Police warned that “The man should be considered armed and dangerous.”
