Multiple people were shot on Wednesday inside a Walmart store in a Denver suburb, local police said. 

Police in Thornton, Colorado, did not release any information on the number of victims and it was not clear if an assailant had been taken into custody, taken his own life or been slain by officers. 

"We've got multiple parties down, we're still trying to ascertain what their conditions are," Officer Victor Avila of the Thornton Police Department told Reuters. 



About an hour after the initial alert the Thornton Police Department said on Twitter that the gunfire had ended at the store, which was surrounded by police and fire crews. 

"At this time this is NOT an active shooter. Active crime scene. We will update as info becomes available," the police department said in a tweet. ..
