4 Killed in Las Vegas Store Attack

By ROBERT MACY
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A man dressed in camouflage and armed with a shotgun
opened fire today in a supermarket, killing four people.
A 23-year-old man with a shotgun was taken into custody outside the store.
Three of the dead were employees of the Albertsons supermarket and the fourth
was a shopper, Lt. Wayne Petersen said. A man was critically wounded, he said.
``We're unsure why he chose this place to go on a rampage,'' he said.
Lt. Rick Alba said police do not believe robbery was a motive and they have
not determined any connection between the victims and the suspect. Police
received word of the shooting around 5:15 a.m.
The bodies were found at different places in the store, which is about two
miles west of the casinos on the Las Vegas strip, he said.
``We're just horrified by this. This is tragic, inexplicable and we are
sickened by it,'' said Michael Reed, vice president of public affairs at
Albertsons' headquarters in Boise, Idaho.
The company, which has 995 stores in 25 states, sent a counseling team to
help employees cope with the shooting.
After the man began firing, two women employees, age 20 and 34, hid for
three hours in a produce cooler, where they were discovered by police.
``They were very upset from the whole incident. They were very cold, they
were inside the cooler. We are trying to get them warm,'' said Kathi Rice, a
spokeswoman for American Medical Response, an ambulance service.
The supermarket is located at a shopping mall at one of the city's busiest
intersections. Police cordoned off the area.
Across from the store's parking lot, Albertsons employees and family members
gathered at Carl's Jr. restaurant, surrounded by police and store officials.
Some were crying as they embraced each other.
