The male victim of a shooting inside Walmart Sunday night is in serious condition, according to Lieutenant Morgan Worrell of the Roanoke Rapids Police Department.

Worrell said police don’t know if all the suspects were armed when the shooting occurred around 10 p.m.

A motive has not been established but Captain Harold Phillips said earlier today there was an argument in the parking lot which escalated inside the store. He said investigators believe that the person shot was the intended victim.
