One shot at Darien Wal-Mart

One person was shot Thursday evening in a Darien Wal-Mart, ABC 7 reported on its website.

Darien Police Chief Greg Thomas said police responded to the store, at 2189 75th St., around 5:41 p.m. and found a man with non-life-threatening injuries to his arm and torso.

"There was some type of altercation or argument inside the store between the person that was shot and the person that did the shooting, and that's about as much as I know," Thomas told ABC 7.

The shooter fled the scene. Nobody else was injured.

A witness inside the store told ABC 7 she heard a loud "pop" in the store's market area from where she was standing in the customer service line.

"Then I heard pop, pop, pop, and somebody said, 'That's a gun,'" the witness said. She ran from the store uninjured.

"But I was extremely frightened with all the crazy stuff that's going on that someone was going to be waiting outside the exit for us," she told ABC 7.

Police continue to investigate.
