Shots fired in the parking lot of the Price Chopper at 7600 State Ave. in Wyandotte Plaza had some shoppers concerned on Thursday night.
Dennis McKinley, a lifelong resident of Wyandotte County, was shopping in the frozen foods section at Price Chopper on Thursday night around 8:30 p.m. when the incident occurred. According to media reports, no one was injured when shots were fired.
After shots were fired in the parking lot, two persons ran into the store, and officers followed later with assault rifles. McKinley said he wasn’t scared at the time.
McKinley said everyone in the store had to stay in the store until it was cleared. The two suspects were not near the frozen food section, where McKinley was, he added.
He said he saw officers arrest and handcuff the suspects, taking them outdoors.
“They did a good job,” McKinley said about the officers.
McKinley sent a text message to his wife while he was in the store about what was happening, and later he posted a photo of it on social media.
“Had I known it was to happen, I probably would have waited until it was all over ’til going up there,” McKinley said.
