WMC – MEMPHIS, Tennessee Officers responded to many complaints on 24 Feb 2023, Friday night reporting gunshots fired in the Walmart off Winchester Road.

Sergeant Brownlee of the Memphis Police Department said, We don’t know and we’re still trying to investigate if it was truly a shot fired or if it was just a different sound. “Officers arrived, Walmart has its protocols in place, we were able to secure personnel, get them out, and also get customers out in an orderly fashion,” said the officer.
