A woman waiting in line at a Walmart in North Carolina was gunned down Friday afternoon by a 17-year-old suspect who was trying, along with a friend, to shoot and kill two other people he “knew,” according to police.

Ezekiel Burden, of Lumberton, is currently wanted for first-degree murder, discharge of a firearm within an enclosure to incite fear and other charges related to the fatal shooting of 42-year-old Brandy Nicole Olson at a local Walmart Supercenter, according to the Lumberton Police Department. His buddy, Brian Campbell, 18, is wanted for being an accessory after the fact. The two of them allegedly fled from the Walmart after the shooting, leaving residents on edge about whether it’s safe to still do their last-minute shopping, according to local officials.

The suspects appeared to be targeting two people who were standing at the Woodforest Bank located inside the Walmart, police said. Olson was also in line at the bank when she was shot, according to police.
