Police told NBC10 two customers were arguing inside the store when one of them pulled out a gun and fired five to 10 shots. A Walmart employee was shot once in the calf, according to police. <\/p>\n

\u201cI could see something ricochet to the floor and then it like flashed. So, I\u2019m assuming that was the bullet,\u201d a woman, who did not reveal her full name, told NBC10. \u201cThen they rushed everybody to the back of the store.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA Walmart employee is recovering after she was shot during an argument between customers inside the store in Glenolden, Pennsylvania, police said. NBC10’s Shaira Arias has the latest on the search for the suspect and spoke with two witnesses.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The woman told NBC10 children were inside the Walmart at the time of the shooting.<\/p>\n

\u201cChildren screaming,\u201d she said. \u201cOne woman, she was hyperventilating. She was panicking. I went to her side. I was telling her to breathe. Take deep breaths so she could be able to think and concentrate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another woman \u2013 who also did not reveal her full name \u2013 told NBC10 she was with her 3-year-old son inside the store when the shots were fired.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was waiting to pay. And the crazy part about it is, my friend was like, \u2018Oh let\u2019s go to that aisle.’ I was like, ‘No, I don\u2019t want to go.’ I was just like, ‘I don\u2019t know why they want to go to that aisle,'” she said. “And that\u2019s where it happened. So I don\u2019t know, the prayer I prayed before I went outside today was a good one.\u201d<\/p>\n

The employee was taken to the hospital. Police said her injury is not life-threatening and she’s expected to recover. <\/p>\n

Witnesses said more employees rushed customers to safety and that they sheltered-in-place inside the store for about an hour.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey say you don\u2019t know how strong you are,\u201d the second witness told NBC10. \u201cBut to be strong is your only option.\u201d<\/p>\n
