Families who were shopping at the Arkansas grocery where three people were killed and 10 others were wounded during a mass shooting on Friday reportedly hid in the freezer as they desperately tried to stay out of the attacker’s view, according to reports.
The chilling details emerged as authorities identified the alleged shooter and media reports named at least two of the people slain at the Mad Butcher store in Fordyce.
The first person identified as having been killed was 23-year-old Callie Weems, a nurse who worked at the Dallas county, Arkansas, medical center, according to what her mother, Helen Browning, told the local news station KLRT.
Weems was reportedly shopping on her day off from work when she was shot to death, and her survivors include a 10-month-old daughter.
Browning told KLRT that she had an ominous feeling when she could not get in touch with Weems after news of the shooting circulated. She said she hoped Weems had just travelled to the hospital to assist her co-workers responding to the mass shooting.
