ELKHART, Ind. — A man fatally shot two women in a northern Indiana grocery store and was waving a gun at a kneeling store manager when police officers arrived and killed the gunman, authorities said Thursday.
The manager and another employee at the Martin’s Super Market in Elkhart escaped unharmed despite confrontations with the gunman Wednesday night, Indiana State Police Sgt. Trent Smith said at a news conference.
State police identified the shooter as Shawn Walter Bair, 22, of Elkhart. Officers found the bodies of Krystle Dikes, 20, of Elkhart, a Martin’s employee, and customer Rachelle Godfread, 44, of Elkhart, about 12 aisles apart.
Police are still seeking a motive and trying to determine whether there was any relationship between Bair and his victims, Smith said.
