The gunman entered through the deli door around 10 p.m. at the Martin's located in the 3900 block of E. Bristol Street, then opened fire with a semi-automatic handgun. Police said Bair fatally shot the two women, who were identified as 20-year-old employee Krystle Dikes and 44-year-old shopper Rachelle Godfread. Police said the two officers to arrive first on the scene confronted the armed suspect and fired multiple shots, killing him. Authorities said Bair was armed with a .40 caliber semi-automatic handgun and a large hunting knife. At this time, police are working to determine a possible motive for the shooting. The shooting is still under investigation, and police are interviewing witnesses and looking over the store’s surveillance video.
– Three people are dead after a deadly shooting last night in Elkhart, Indiana: A gunman entered Martin's Super Market just after 10pm and began firing "from one area of the store to the next," killing two women before he was shot dead by police. The gunman—a local white man in his 20s—pointed a semiautomatic handgun at arriving officers, who fired, WXIN reports, though WNDU notes "several" rounds were exchanged between the man and police. The two victims—a staff member in her late teens or early 20s and a customer in her 40s—were found 10 to 12 aisles apart, making this a "huge crime scene," a police spokesman says. The relationship between the victims and shooter, who was also carrying a large knife, isn't known, but "we are pretty confident that Elkhart's quick response to the scene most definitely saved lives tonight," the spokesman said, adding, "There is not a day that goes by it seems anymore that we aren't learning about a school shooting or at a business. We hope this would never come to our hometown, and here it is." One man, whose mother works at the store, said it was evacuated after gunshots were heard. "She told me that she heard what sounded like gunshots and everybody around her was telling her that they heard gunshots," he said, adding, "You can't even go to the grocery store and not be safe."
