The gunman killed an employee before being shot and killed by police.
Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston:

Shortly thereafter, a second Red bluff police officer arrived and also engaged the shooter. The engagement occurred in the parking area, outside the building, not within the building amongst the parked cars.”
Walmart said it was aware of the situation and was working with law enforcement authorities, saying:"We are deeply saddened by this tragic incident."
