Shooting at Queensbury Rt. 9 Walmart Leaves One Man Injured

Late afternoon on Sunday, November 27th, Warren County Sheriff’s office and State Police responded to a shooting incident in the parking lot of Walmart on Rt. 9 in Queensbury.  The shooting occurred around 4:00 PM, where the victim suffered a gunshot wound to the hip, and was then transported to an area hospital. The shooter has not been found; however, the police do not think that there is an active threat to the public. Employees were informed of the incident, and the store was evacuated and closed.

The Walmart opened on Monday morning with business as usual. Employees stocked the shelves as customers meandered in from the parking lot where the shooting occurred. There was no police tape or evidence that the event had happened. An employee who preferred not to be named said, “Doesn’t much have anything to do with me, just one of those things that happens I guess.” When asked if the incident scared her, she said, “I wasn’t here last night, it’s just another day at work to me.”

A spokeswoman for Walmart said that they were aware of the incident, but did not have a specific comment as it was a police matter. The Warren County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident with the support of the New York State Police; this investigation is currently ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to contact Warren County Sheriff’s office at (518) 743-2500, Option 1.
