00:00All right, we do want to get back to that breaking news happening in Wilson right now.
00:04We have been above the scene, as you see, Sky 5 right there in a Walmart.
00:07We are hearing reports of shots fired there, and that is where we find Sean Gallagher.
00:12Sean, you arrived, I think, in the last 5, 10 minutes.
00:14What have you been able to garner in terms of information since you arrived?
00:19Well, Chris, it's still an extremely active scene here behind me.
00:22I mean, this would be troubling on any day of the year, but Christmas Eve, a lot of last-minute
00:26shoppers coming here,
00:27so it could have been a very dangerous situation.
00:29I want to give you a look of exactly what we're seeing here.
00:31We've got Wilson police.
00:33I've seen Wilson County sheriffs here, a couple of ambulances, even a fire truck as well.
00:37But I really want to take a look at all of the people that have been evacuated here.
00:39It looks like a lot of employees that were evacuated as a result of this,
00:44but there are a number of people that are in the parking lot as well,
00:47dozens of vehicles that are out here that were likely inside of the Walmart at some point.
00:52But this is what we know so far.
00:53The Wilson police department tells us this is not an active shooter situation.
00:57There's no threat right now that they are aware of, so everything is good here.
01:02But they have not confirmed if there are any injuries at this point or any injuries that there could be,
01:07the severity of that as well.
01:10Clearly, this is a very active and ongoing investigation.
01:13We can see there are police officers here still taking statements from what look to be employees of the Walmart
01:18here.
01:19And, you know, by listening to some radio traffic from the police department here and dispatchers,
01:25this all happened, you know, about an hour and a half ago, but clearly a very active scene.
01:29We're going to work to try to get some more information, talk to some people that may have been inside
01:32during this
01:33and just see how everyone's doing.
01:35But a very troubling situation here in Wilson on Christmas Eve after reports of shots fired inside this Walmart, Chris.
01:41Hey, and Sean, real quick, I just sent you a text just a little bit ago.
01:44Someone who was at the Walmart, according to what I saw on social media, why don't you go ahead and
01:48reach out to them,
01:48see if they're willing to chat with us so maybe we can have some kind of perspective on what's going
01:52on here right now.
