Exchange of gunfire outside DeKalb Walmart sends shoppers into panic

An exchange of gunfire Saturday afternoon outside a Walmart in DeKalb County stirred anxiety among shoppers in the area.

Officers were originally called to the store along Memorial Drive at about 2:30 p.m. about reports of an active shooter. But police said they were unable to locate any victims or suspects when they arrived.

After speaking with security and reviewing surveillance footage, authorities said two men exchanged gunfire outside the store.

The two fled from the scene and never went inside, police said.

Officials evaluated two customers who were having panic attacks. No other injuries were reported.

Police did not provide a description of the alleged gunmen or say what led to the shooting.
