On June 27, 2020, a shooting occurred at a Walmart distribution center in Red Bluff, California. Two individuals were killed, including one employee and the shooter. Beginning at 3:30 PM PT, witnesses reported seeing a man circle the distribution center before deliberately crashing his car into the building. Incident The perpetrator had been seen by the Walmart employees prior to the shooting, circling around the employee parking lot at least four times before he drove his Dodge Journey into the warehouse asset protection doors at 3:31 pm. While he drove into the front of the warehouse the perpetrator struck at least one individual in the parking lot. The force of the impact of the vehicle into the warehouse caused the SUV to be wedged into the lobby and the SUV caught fire. After the crash the perpetrator exited his SUV and opened fire inside the lobby with a long gun semi-automatic weapon. Responding Red Bluff police officers arrived at the location at 3:36pm Wounded victims left the building after 4pm with teams of responding officers working to clear the building. Suspect During a news conference, Tehama County Sheriff's Department officers listed a 31-year-old white male as a suspect in the shooting. He was later identified as Louis Lane, a 31-year-old resident of Redding, California who had been fired from his job at the distribution center in February 2019 after he did not show up to work. Investigation Separate from the investigation into the workplace shooting, the officers who fired at the suspect were placed on paid administrative leave pending the routine investigation into the shooting of a suspect.
