A 24-year-old man was shot and killed at a Walmart in North Carolina, authorities said.

Police responded to a shooting at a Walmart store at about 2 p.m. May 10 in High Point, about 20 miles southwest of Greensboro, according to a news release from the High Point Police Department.

Police said they found a man with several gunshot wounds. The man, identified as Demaurice S. Turner, was taken to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries, police said.
