ALL THAT AND MORE JUST AHEAD.
WE WERE FROZEN AND SCARED.
ONE PERSON HAS DIED AFTER A
SHOOTING INSIDE GREENVILLE
WALMART.
WE'LL BRING YOU LIVE TEAM
COVERAGE FROM JUST OUTSIDE THAT
STORE.
THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL CRIME
SCENES INVOLVED.
WE ARE REPORTERS OUT THERE.
WE DO KNOW THE SUSPECT NOW IN
CUSTODY WE GOT THEIR NAME.
WE'VE LEARNED THE ACCUSED
SHOOTER IS BRAILLE LOAN MORRIS.
-- 33-YEAR-OLD MANAGED
BRAILLE LOAN LAMAR MORRIS IS
CHARGED WITH MURDER AFTER
DEPUTIES SAY HE WENT INTO THE
WALMART AND SHOT A MAN IN THE
HEAD INSIDE THE STORE.
THAT VICTIM HAS DIED AND NOW AS
WE SAID MORE RACE IS CHARGED
WITH MURDER.
DEPUTIES SAY IT'S APPARENT
THE 2 MEN THE SHOOTER AND
SUSPECT I SHOULD SAY AND THE
VICTIM APPEARED TO HAVE KNOWN
EACH OTHER AND HAD A DISPUTE
THAT LED TO THE SHOOTING INSIDE
THE STORE.
THIS WAS A MORE SPECIFIC
SHOOTING NOT A RANDOM ACT OF
VIOLENCE INSIDE THE WALMART BUT
ONCE THAT HAPPENED BASED ON BOTH
WITNESS ACCOUNTS AND WHAT
DEPUTIES HAVE TOLD US THAT
SUSPECT THEN CAME A HALF MILE
DOWN WHITE HORSE ROAD IN THE
GREENVILLE COUNTY TO LONG JOHN
SILVERS WHERE HE TRIED ACCORDING
TO EMPLOYEES TO MAKE HIS WAY
INSIDE.
LISTEN.
HOW COME HE DIDN'T GET IN
THE RESTAURANT.
BECAUSE WE HAD THE DOORS
LOCKED.
BECAUSE YOU HEARD THE SHOTS
FROM WALMART.
YES AND SOME CUSTOMER SAID
SOME ONE HAD BEEN SHOT AT
WALMART
SO THEY LOCKED THE DOOR AT
LONG JOHN SILVERS AND HERE'S
WHAT EMPLOYEES SAID HAPPENED
NEXT WHEN WE CAN'T HEARD THAT IN
VIDEO.
THAT SUSPECT CAME AROUND THE
STORE AND TRIED TO GET INTO A
BLACK CAR.
AFTER HE WAS UNABLE TO DO SO WAS
TASED BY DEPUTIES IN THE
DRIVE-THROUGH THE LONG JOHN
SILVERS HAS REOPENED SINCE THE
SUSPECT WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
WHAT DEPUTIES ARE DOING IS
TRYING TO GATHER EVIDENCE TO
MAKE THEIR CASE.
WE SAW THEM SEARCHING THAT BLACK
CAR AND THERE ARE UNITS OUT HERE
WITH DOGS.
WALMART IS ON WHITE HORSE ROAD.
THE SUSPECT HAD TRAVELED THAT
WAY.
IN ADDITION TO MURDER.
MORRIS IS CHARGED WITH
POSSESSION OF A WEAPON DURING A
VIOLENT CRIME.
WE DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT
INDICATES THEY HAVE RECOVERED
THAT BUT THEY ARE SEARCHING FOR
ADDITIONAL PIECES OF EVIDENCE.
THIS HAPPENED INSIDE CROWDED
WALMART AND IMPACTED A
RESTAURANT ON WHITE HORSE ROAD
THAT WAS OPEN FOR BUSINESS AT
THE TIME.
DOZENS OF PEOPLE SAW THIS
SUSPECT AT SOME POINT OR WHO
HAVE HEARD THE GUNSHOTS.
KIRSTEN IS STANDING BY AT
WALMART WHERE SHE HAS BEEN SINCE
AFTER THE SHOOTING.
PEOPLE ARE REACTING MOSTLY WITH
FEAR AFTER WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE IT
HERE WAS CONTROLLED CHAOS AT THE
TIME WE GOT OUT.
WE HAD A LOT OF EMPLOYEES AND
PEOPLE THAT WERE SHOPPING INSIDE
CAME OUT TO THE PARKING LOT AND
CONGRESS BEING GATED.
A LOT OF -- EMPLOYEES WENT TO A
GAS STATION.
WE DID SPEAK TO ONE WOMAN IN THE
AREA.
SHE WAS SHOPPING AND SHE HEARD
THE SHOTS RING OUT.
SHE RAN AND HID INSIDE A
CHANGING ROOM STALL CRYING UNTIL
SHE WAS ABLE TO CALL 911.
I WANTED TO BELIEVE THEY WERE
FIRE CRACKERS BUT I KNEW THEY
WERE TOO LOUD TO BE FIRE
CRACKERS AND EVERYBODY STARTED
RUNNING.
I MEAN I THOUGHT THAT I WAS
GOING TO DIE.
.
THE PERSON WE JUST HEARD FROM
ESCAPED OUT THE BACK DOOR AND
RAN AROUND TO THE FRONT OF THE
WALMART AND MET UP WITH OTHER
PEOPLE -- SHE SAW AN EMPTY
STRETCHER COME OUT AND SHE KNEW
SHE KNEW SOMEONE WAS SHOT.
WE WILL HAVE MORE FROM HER BUT
FOR NOW I'M HERE IN GREENVILLE.
KIRSTEN, GORDON THANK YOU.
THE MAN IS DEAD AFTER A
SHOOTING IN SIDE THE WALMART ON
WHITE HORSE ROAD IN THE
COMMUNITY OF GREENBERG COUNTY.
WE'RE WAITING TO LEARN THE
IDENTITY OF THE VICTIM.
WE DO KNOW THE ACCUSED
SHOOTER 3-YEAR-OLD MAN IS IN
CUSTODY AND HE HAS A HEARING
TONIGHT AT 9:30.

COMMUNITY.
