TWO individuals were injured in a shooting at a Walmart as numerous officers flooded the store’s parking lot.

Customers sought shelter as the large police force sealed off the store’s entrance on Tuesday afternoon.

Authorities verified that the shooting occurred at the Walmart in Lancaster, South Carolina, close to the North Carolina border, shortly before 3 pm.

Two people were rushed to the hospital with gunshot wounds, cops said at a press conference.

Their injuries are non-life-threatening, according to cops.

One person has been detained, and the situation is no longer active.

The shooting appeared to involve people who knew each other, investigators said.

Alll three people involved in the shooting were men, but their ages weren’t known, according to Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile.

No employees were involved in the shooting.

Cops searched the store and said the scene was safe as of 4:30 pm.

Investigators are working to pin down more suspects if there was more than one shooter.

Cops initially confirmed the shooting on Facebook before sharing a warning to the public.

“Stay away from Walmart in Lancaster!” cops shared in a post.

Terrified witnesses reported seeing dozens of police cars at the Walmart, along with ambulances and fire trucks.

They shared fears of a possible active shooter, but cops have not released further details about what is going on at the store.

“Active shooter at Walmart in Lancaster. Shots fired. Shut down and blocked off. Just now,” one person wrote on Facebook.

“Our next stop was Walmart, thank God we stopped off somewhere else first. Would have been right in the middle of it.”

Four schools in the area were on lockdown after the shooting, according to local NBC affiliate WCNC.

The lockdown has since been lifted.

‘SCARIEST THING I’VE EVER EXPERIENCED’

Residents begged for information and said the investigation seemed to involve the back of the store.

“Does anyone know what is going on at the back of the Walmart in Lancaster?” another worried resident wrote.

“There has to be at least 40 crime scene vehicles and police cars out there as well as ambulances and more!”

A third person described being rushed out of a back door as the chaos unfolded.

“Please don’t come to Walmart in Lancaster,” they wrote.

“Someone has a gun inside. I was [in the] bathroom. I was [ushered] out [the] backdoor. I can’t get to my car.”

And a fourth person said they heard gunfire.

“Check on your people. We were in Walmart in Lancaster and someone started shooting. Lots of shots were fired,” they said.

“We are safe but it was the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced!!!!”

The police department and sheriff’s office didn’t immediately respond to The U.S. Sun’s requests for comment.

EL PASO WALMART SHOOTING

The scary scene comes years after gunman Patrick Crusius shot and killed 23 people at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, in 2019.

Crusius went on a tirade in the store with an AK-47 and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in a horrific racist attack.

After pleading guilty, Crusius was hit with 90 life sentences for his sick crimes in 2023.
