Suspect in Colorado Walmart Shooting Is Arrested, ID'd

Police in Thornton, Colorado have arrested a suspect in Wednesday night's shooting inside a Walmart that resulted in the deaths of two men and a woman.

Mr Avila said a man nonchalantly entered the store and fired a handgun into a group of people before fleeing in a auto.

The shooting comes a day after a man in New York City allegedly killed eight people on a Manhattan bike path before police officers were able to apprehend and take him into custody.

Thornton police said 47-year-old Scott Ostrem was arrested on Thursday morning, about 14 hours after he fled the Denver store in a auto.

The shooting appears random and there are no indications that it was an act of terror, Thornton police spokesman Victor Avila said. "Just to be able to decipher what exactly we had".

Forty-eight witnesses were taken from the Walmart to a nearby police building before they were released, according to RTD.

It's unclear if the attack is terrorism-related, police said, although they believe it is not.
