Police in the U.S. state of Virginia are investigating a shooting at a Walmart store late Tuesday that left multiple people dead and wounded.

A police spokesman told reporters he did not know the number of dead, but at that moment it was 'less than 10.'

The spokesman also said police believe there was a lone shooter responsible for the attack and that the shooter was dead.

The attack comes just days after a shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, that left five dead and 18 wounded.

Some information for this report came from The Associated Press and Reuters.
