Walmart: 2 photos outside of Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania

WHITEHALL TWP., Pennsylvania (WPVI) – A shooting in front of a Walmart in Lehigh Valley injured two people on Friday night, police said.

The shootings occurred around 7 p.m. on Block 2600 on MacArthur Road in Whitehall Township.

Police said two people were shot while outside the store.

Witnesses at the scene said the incident happened very suddenly.

“As I enter, I hear a boom, a boom.” I thought it was a car evacuation or something, “said Qusai Muhasen of New Jersey.

It seems that Walmart has never closed despite the large police presence.

“When I came to the parking lot, I saw one of the Whitehall police cars coming flying at the main entrance here, next to TJ Maxx and then heading to Walmart,” said Scott Dias of Upper Macungie. “In a few seconds, we saw more than five or six police cars appear.”

There is no word on the condition of the victims of the shooting.

Police did not disclose any details about a suspect or motive.
