Three killed in shooting at Oklahoma Walmart

Washington DC: Three people were shot and killed in a morning attack at an Oklahoma Walmart on Monday, according to local media, the latest in a string of deadly shootings in the United States.

Three victims were killed, local media reported citing the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

A spokeswoman for the police in Duncan, Oklahoma, confirmed the shooting but said she had no information on the victims' condition. Oklahoma Highway Patrol officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

Duncan is a town of roughly 22,000 people located about 80 miles (129 km) south of Oklahoma City.

The violence comes on the heels of a shooting in Fresno, California, that saw at least four killed as people gathered in a backyard to watch a football game, with at least one shooter still unaccounted for.
